Expect delays on the D Line during Memorial Day weekend

The T's construction scheduling is curious? They shut the shut the D-line down on a weekend where the Sox are home? Also, since it's a holiday, they must be paying the contractor big bucks to be working through the holiday weekend. I hope the managers chose to do this because: 1) they needed 3 whole days to totally demolish the bridge; 2) didn't want to impact commuters on a weekday; and 3) made a determination that this weekend had traditionally low rider numbers (notwithstanding the home games). I have this sneaking suspicion that these weren't the reasons though, and it seems a little ham-handed.

Speaking of the D-line construction, I took the T to work for the first time in a long time yesterday, and as we were passing under the Dean Rd. bridge, I looked out the window to see an absolute torrent of water coming down the bridge embankment and into the track area. I actually thought I had been daydreaming and had briefly thought about the debacle in Weston from a few weeks back until I looked over and saw three other people with "did you just see that?" expressions on their faces. The water volume seemed to me to be far too large to have been initiated on purpose - I thought that the contractor working on the bridge might have busted a water main. Did anyone hear anything about it?
