Massachusetts is home to three of the worst highway bottlenecks in the country, reports the The Boston Globe.
The American Highway Users Alliance released a report Monday saying the worst bottleneck in the Bay State is the 1.9-mile stretch of I-93 through the O’Neill Tunnel and over the Zakim Bridge. The bottleneck is ranked 15th nationwide and drivers stuck there waste nearly 2 million gallons of gas and lose $58 million in productivity, reports the Globe.
The next worst is the 1.2-mile section of highway in Milton between Edge Hill Road and West Street — ranked the 28th worst nationwide. And a one-third-mile stretch inside the Massachusetts Turnpike tunnel in Boston, between Dorchester Avenue and A Street in Boston, is the 50th worst bottleneck in the nation.
So where is the absolute worst bottleneck in the land? Chicago.
