MassDOT reassures drivers that the Ted Williams Tunnel is safe after a viral video showed cars driving through floodwaters during a recent storm. The agency explains that the incident was caused by a drainage clog and that they have since cleared the issue. Mayor Michelle Wu blames aging infrastructure and climate change for the flash floods, but MassDOT assures drivers that the tunnel system is safe.
