Federal funding pushes Allston Mass. Pike megaproject forward, says MassDOT secretary
www.wbur.org
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.

    I am having a hard time understanding what the 2 billion dollars is going towards. It seems like it’s just moving a few things around but not adding anything new. It is unclear if the West station train project is included in the 2 billion dollars or an additional cost after the fact.

      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.
