"the herald" looked at inspection reports for the past 12 months which reveal more problems. that includes heavy rust on construction joints inside the westbound mass pike connector over the summer so severe they were giving a poor rating by highway inspectors. on the eastbound side, the leaking ceiling above a travel lane back in march was marked as a major deficiency. inspectors also found cracks in tunnel roof slabs and on ramps. massdot says much of this is due to wear and tear because of the high volume of traffic. they also point out that highway inspectors never found anything that was so critical that it was at risk of imminent failure. again, they insist that the tunnels are safe. live this morning in boston,
