The federal government awarded $335 million for the Mass. Pike revamp plan in Allston that will provide long-awaited access to the Charles River waterfront. Plans call for construction of a new West Station commuter rail hub for the MBTA, which would be on the Worcester/Framingham Line between the existing Lansdowne and Boston Landing stops.
Gonna cost a shit ton to drop the Pike to ground level.
I don’t know anything about the station.
This will be a mini-“big dig”. I’d bet it’s at least double the $2B.
I’d pay triple to bury the pike underground just like the big dig.
Well, they are covering it piece by piece… kinda.
