« Party for Corrente kicks off R.I. film fest tonight | Today | Off to a pleasant start, day should see high of 81 » August 8, 2006Big Dig ramp to reopen at midnightBOSTON -- A Big Dig ramp, closed amid safety concerns in the wake of the deadly collapse of a nearby tunnel ceiling, will reopen at midnight tonight, Gov. Mitt Romney said. The eastbound ramp funnels traffic toward the Ted Williams Tunnel and Boston's Logan International Airport, and is key to easing traffic congestion originating south of the city. The ramp was closed shortly after an accident July 10 that killed a 39-year-old woman as she and her husband drove through a connector tunnel and their car was crushed by 12 tons of falling ceiling panels. Since the accident, authorities have zeroed in on the bolt-and-epoxy system that failed to hold suspended ceiling panels in place where Milena Del Valle was killed. Inspections have revealed slippage in dozens of other tunnel locations, and workers have been reinforcing potentially weak connections. -- Associated Press Posted by Andrea Panciera Commentsstudent | October 12, 2006 9:40 AM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

Hi,
I am a student in translation and my prof and I were talking about this story. I was just wondering if someone could answer this. Was the whole project (partly closed), or was it the tunnel that was (partly closed), or both? Was the project put on pause for safety measures, or was the tunnel closed and the project was stilled worked on?
Thanks
