Callahan-Tunnel

The Callahan Tunnel ( English Callahan Tunnel, officially Lieutenant William F. Callahan Tunnel ) is one of three road tunnels that pass under Boston Harbor in Boston, Massachusetts in the United States. The tunnel leads from Boston's North End to Logan International Airport and further to the Massachusetts Route 1A in East Boston.

The tunnel is usually used only in a northeasterly direction and decreases with the end of the Big Dig, only traffic from I- 93 in a southerly direction to the mouth of the Storrow Drive on. The tunnel is to use toll-free. To the south targeted traffic usually flows through a little further north-west parallel, toll Sumner Tunnel.

Alternative Routes

Long-distance transport from the airport with southbound normally uses the newer Ted Williams Tunnel, which provides the connection to the Massachusetts Turnpike and I-93.

History

The tunnel was opened in 1961 and is named after the near the end of World War II in Italy perished son of William F. Callahan, the former chairman of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority was.

Originally came in the Callahan Tunnel, as well as in the Sumner Tunnel, a system of control signals used to reverse one of the two lanes in the other direction may, if the other one tunnel had to be closed due to construction work or emergencies. With the construction of the Ted Williams Tunnel during the Big Dig, these measures were obsolete, but remained installed for all cases in the tunnels.
