Right near Kenmore Square I had read somewhere that those tan/oramge painted causeways which span over Storrow Drive. (The Southern Side of the Charles River.) were supposed to continue on into some sort of Bridge that was to span the Charles and be included in something like this Inner Belt plan as well. Has anyone heard/seen anything similar??? I think it was in the Globe or Herald or something.
But supposedly that plan too was scrapped now you just have the Bridges that literally lead from Kenmore Square Area--- that tower up to the edge of the Charles River and currently bank/turn hard to the right (for heading Inbound on Storrow Drive) and bank hard to the left at the same spot towards Storrow outbound) just as it approaches the Charles River. Infact I think it peaks out slightly over the Charles on the shoulder that leads towards Storrow Westbound I think if my memory serves me correctly. I do recall it certainly eats into the riverfront park area there. The BEST time to actually walk around and look at it closely is after the July 4 fireworks. Most traffic around there is stopped and you can really get up under those roadways and look at how they were constructed. I recall that article beceause just like Route 2 looks very out of place in the mannor it terminates, this Kenmore Square/Storrow Drive terminus looks very out of place as well.
P.S. There's still hope for Route 2. If the powers that be either place the Commuter rail near Alewife undergound, -or- placed Route 2 underneath the Commuter rail's right-of-way that could make Route 2 terminate closer to North Station almost. CaribDigita 04:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Are the Leverett ramps really in Somerville? I thought that it actually is Charlestown maybe 1000 yards west of I-93. 12.0.44.226 ( talk) 17:55, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
It seems to me this article should be named Inner Belt. Per WP:NAME "Generally, article naming should prefer what the greatest number of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature." The project was always known as the Inner Belt and would likely still be called that today had it been built. No one refers to the Big Dig as I-93.-- agr ( talk) 01:25, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
