Shortly after 10 a.m., State Police reported a truck driver heading out of town on Storrow Drive managed to smash his truck into the Bowker overpass, and now his truck is stuck there.
Cruisers enroute. Expect delays.

Just biked by on Mass Ave and the outbound backup on Storrow looks pretty bad. It looks like there is one lane of traffic moving on the overpass, and one moving on Storrow.

Mr. Baker, tear down this wall. The Bowker Overpass is a terrible wall that cuts off residents and visitors alike from enjoying part of Olmstead's park and the Charles River. Its time to tear it down.
