The Massachusetts Senate unanimously voted to approve measures to address wrong-way drivers on highways after State Trooper Kevin Trainor was struck head-on and killed earlier this month by a wrong-way driver.
A newly constructed ramp connecting the Mass Pike to I-495 in central Massachusetts opened overnight Monday, ahead of the Tuesday morning commute. Previously, motorists accessed all I-495 exits from a single point. Under the new system, those traveling I-90 westbound and heading for I-495 southbound will encounter the first exit, with a second exit following for those merging onto I-495 northbound, according to an advisory from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
From the 1840s, an overland route for travellers and trade goods was organised across the isthmus of Suez. This was first developed by the British officer Lieutenant Waghorn. People and goods took a ship to Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast, disembarked and crossed down to Suez using river boats and animal transport like camels, and then boarded another ship on the Red Sea coast to continue their voyage.

The previous administration suggested unhardened daylighting is more dangerous than no daylighting at all? Is that correct? DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn, a Mamdani appointee, said it was. So is that your position? Yes, Flynn answered, but soft. So for the record, the administration believes that unhardened daylighting is more dangerous than no daylighting at all. I think there's a lot of skepticism in this room about that.
They've fallen well below the benchmarks that are required by law. In order to make our buses faster and accessible, we need the administration to provide a full accounting as to why those obligations have not been fulfilled in the last four years.
