Getting to and from Logan Airport\/Sumner Tunnel Closure Information<\/h3>\n

Boston\u2019s Sumner Tunnel is currently undergoing a restoration project. Although the Sumner Tunnel will reopen at the beginning of September, weekend closures will continue<\/em> (including the weekends of September 22nd<\/sup> and September 29th<\/sup>). According to MassDOT, those coming from Logan Airport<\/em> will be more affected than those travelling to the airport<\/em>. Travelers heading to the airport by car are advised to use the Callahan Tunnel or the Ted Williams Tunnel to get to the airport. Travelers should anticipate heavier traffic volume during the closure and build in some additional buffer to their travel time.<\/p>\n
