easter

Massachusetts Turnpike Authority are still attracting a firestorm of criticism over backups at their toll plazas over the Easter holiday. By local media accounts backups at some toll points were "five to seven miles" long (8km to 11km) and travel times through the plazas were as much as 45 minutes. Worst affected were Allston plaza complexes 18, 19, 20 near Cambridge, and the Weston/Newton plazas 14, 15, 55 complex at MA128/I-95.
