Orange Cone Info Hits the Web

mass_dot_logo.gif The Executive Office of Transportation is shrouded in a cloud of mystery no more. Today, the office launched a new addition to its website: Projects Under Design and Construction. Bostonist can now track the status and cost of every local road construction project from the comfort of our living room. You can search by city, MassHighway District, Senator, Representative, Metropolitan Planning District, or US Congressional District.

Bostonist has been exploring the site throughout the day, and already we've learned a few things. Did you know that the rehabilitation project for the Longfellow Bridge is set to start late 2007 and cost $110 million?

There's also an advanced search function. "Big Dig" = zero results. "Drawbridge" = 19 results. Go figure.
