It’s bad enough that in Canton south of Boston Interstate 95 goes through a sharp 25-mile-per-hour curve as it snakes through an enlarged exit ramp meant for the never-built Southwest Expressway some 40 years ago. But our Massachusetts highway department is so slow fixing potholes that this morning one of the 2 lanes on this I-95 choke point was blocked by a State Police car so that drivers would not roll over a huge pothole that had expanded overnight (though that pothole had been a fair-sized hazard for about a week already). Why repair something until it is broken enough to bollix up morning rush hour traffic?

My daughter, and two other motorists, struck a loose manhole cover in the same area. All three cars were disabled.
Then the trooper that was responding to the incident hit the same cover and his cruiser was disabled.
When my daughter called Mass Highway to file a claim they told her that they didn't think it was their responsibility to pay her for the tire and the alignment, but she should file a claim so they could review it.
Our tax dollars at work. It's like the old joke,
What's Green, has six tires, and can sleep two?
A Mass Highway truck!
