Falling concrete damages several cars in Pru Tunnel
Several vehicles sustained damage on early Friday afternoon, Feb. 21, when concrete came falling down from the ceiling of the Prudential Tunnel.
`At around 1:30 p.m., the incident unfolded in the left and middle travel lanes on the westbound side of the Massachusetts Turnpike beneath Huntington Avenue, according to published reports.
No injuries were reported, and damage to vehicles was said to be minimal.
The cause of the incident was “a non-structural section of concrete at an expansion joint fell due to a freeze-thaw cycle,” according to Boston.com.
“ Saturated concrete froze and became loose once temperatures rose and thawed it,” the online news outlet reported.
