Time for an update, Matt

Let's say you go to the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority web site to figure out how to navigate the Big Dig, now that various tunnels are shut down following Melina Delvalle's tragic death. What does Turnpike chairman Matt Amorello have to say to you? Let's take a look:

Matthew J. Amorello, Chairman "Summer is the season for family vacations and cookouts and the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority has all its resources ready to help you find a fun tourist destination and to get you there safely.

As the "Main Street of Massachusetts,'' the Massachusetts Turnpike is the road to summer fun and we have a lot more to offer than the safest and best .... (More)"

No mention of the accident that killed Delvalle. And you won't find it in the "Turnpike News" or "Big Dig" sections of the site, either.

Shameful.

Maybe you persuaded him, Adam, but on the front page, it now reads:

"The I-90 Connector Tunnel will be closed until further notice. This closure is the result of a tragic accident in the I-90 Connector Tunnel on July 10th, 2006 and we thank you for your understanding regarding this closure.

"Updated Closure and Alternate Route Information:
The ramp in South Boston to I-93 North and South is closed and detoured until further notice."
