Just look at the Big dig

Not even a remotely apples to apples comparison.

Not directly related to the CC bridges but infrastructure costs of late.  How about a small stream river bridge projected rehab/replacement 2 years ago was at 11.1M 60 days ago the estimated cost went to 50.3M.   Since the Bi Partisan infr bill took hold costs have just went insane for everything.  There is no telling what the CC bridges will end up costing the way things are playing out.  It's just insane.

The Boring Company is defunct, in all but name. 

They were the only place that would bore a tunnel and sell you a flamethrower

You also have to,look at the time line for most of these bridges, most two year projects in the past are now 3 and sometimes 4 years............

And yet in FL they can put up a bridge over the intercoastal in no time at all.

Look not further than Healy, Warren, Keating , Markey, and the MA administrations ineptitude in 1), securing more federal funding, and 2), developing creative methods to finance the remaining balance.

And lets not forget supply issues,(somebody forgot to order nails) or unexpected soil issues (I thought you reviewed the boring logs) that rock is to big for this machine to move (this machine was cheaper) and of course my all time favorite "ain't my job"...........................

Biggest issue Cape Cod has is nitrogen pollution.  This threat to the livability on Cape Cod is simmering just below the surface.  Cape town officials and residents best get their act together and quickly address this issue. The importance and emphasis on a new bridge to ease traffic congestion pales in comparison to the significant economic/social challenges that unchecked nitrogen pollution will bring to Cape Cod.
