Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 



accident rate in the state's highway 

 system. 



The construction program will include 

 straightening the S-curve at the foot of 

 the Tobin Bridge, construction of two 

 tunnels under City Square and two new 

 loop ramps to connect to 1-93, removing 

 existing elevated expressway ramps over 

 City Square and improving vehicular and 

 pedestrian circulation in City Square and 

 adjacent city streets. Route 1 traffic 

 will travel under City Square in the two 

 tunnels. The elimination of the overhead 

 ramps in City Square will open up the 

 Square. The elimination of the ramps will 

 also free up 10 to 12 acres. These acres 

 will be divided into 5 development 

 parcels and a park. The land is now the 

 property of the DPW but will most likely 

 be deeded to the Boston Redevelopment 

 Authority for development.
