Parts of Storrow Drive ramps closed after concrete collapses

A warning to drivers who use Storrow Drive in Boston: The on-ramp from Storrow Drive to Boylston Street and the off-ramp from Charlesgate East to Storrow Drive will be closed indefinitely after a piece of concrete fell from an overpass in the area.

Cars traveling east will be unable to exit at the Bowker overpass, and vehicles heading west will not be able to exit to Kenmore Square, boston.com reported.

The ramps will remain closed until state officials deem the area is safe again for vehicles.

This is just another commuting and traveling headache that can be avoided by using public transit to get around Boston. Your company offers incentives for you to commute using methods other than driving alone. Have you checked into them recently?
