Avoid Tip O'Neal tunnel

[outnabout]

I'll be pulling a 5er south through Boston & need to avoid the tunnel ( no propane) any alternates? Heading to Sagamore Beach

Ditto on route and times

US1 joins I-93 just north of the Zakim bridge and is concurrent with it over the bridge and through the tunnel. It eventually continues on I-95 a bit (after the southern junction of I-93 and I-95) and then goes south as its own road.

Thanks. I come straight down 93 all the way so I don't pay much attention to where the other roads feed on/off.

I'm confused. The last time I went over the Zakim from the north, it was I-93 which goes directly into the new tunnel where propane is not allowed. There are no exits between the bridge and the tunnel. How do you cross on the Zakim and avoid the tunnel?

X2. The Zakim goes directly through the tunnel. No way around it unless you take the surface roads, which is just plain crazy. Coming down Rt. 1 from Revere takes you over the Tobin bridge. Wait, that's now the Mystic Bridge as stated. Question is does it merge back onto 93 after the tunnel?

I am likewise confused about what route is being described.

We don't go on 93. Straight through Boston. Wrong bridge. We don't go over Mystic bridge we go over Zakim Bridge.

From north of Boston when we go to the Cape we take Rt 1 through Revere and over Mystic Bridge through Boston. It is a pain but if you try to get there about 10am its not too bad. Try to avoid morning and afternoon rush hours if possible.

Except propane is not allowed in the I-93 tunnel.

When are you going? Rt. 128 will be closed 11/4-11/6 as they will be tearing down a bridge.

I thought of that as well, but the OP said he is going to Sagamore and it's closed after Columbus Day.

[time2roll]

I thought propane was required to operate the towed vehicle?
Yea I would probably be arrested 😞

X2. Regardless of restrictions it's not a fun time. 95/128 will get you where you need to go easier. When are you going? Rt. 128 will be closed 11/4-11/6 as they will be tearing down a bridge.

x 3
128 only adds about 15 minutes to the drive.

Take I-95/Route 128. Driving through Boston is such a pain. Just do it between the hours of 10 and 2.

The DOT published a book untitled "how to use the hazardous material regulations CFR 49 parts 100 thru 185". That is 20 pages, the regulation is hundreds of pages.
