Flyover sought to ease proposed Suffolk Downs casino traffic - Boston Globe

Suffolk Downs would build a two-lane flyover on the northbound side of Route 1A to relieve one of its most consistent bottlenecks, as well as add lanes, lights, and other improvements around the track to help carry the traffic created by its proposed casino resort, track officials said Friday...

Former secretary of transportation James Aloisi had already panned the idea of a flyover as “an eyesore and a band-aid that will not solve the current congestion on Route 1A from the airport to Bell Circle,’’ in a commentary published Thursday by CommonWealth Magazine. He advocated a redesign and reconstruction of Route 1A between Logan Airport and Bell Circle and much more emphasis on public transportation.
