It is concluded that, the Blue Hills porphyry is geologically and mineralogically a single unit, dominantly granite porphyry, which grades into a porphyritic granite on one side. The Blue Hills porphyry becomes more aphanitic with fewer phenocrysts near the contact with the country. rocks. Textural variations correlate well with the topographic features: the higher the elevationthe more aphanitic the Blue. Hills porphyry becomes. The outcrop at the Route 128-28 intersection has traditionally been interpreted as a "fossil soil zone", but on the basis of detailed field and petrographical studies, it is reinterpreted as an extrusive facies of the Blue Hills porphyry.

  • Weight and Height Restrictions That Impact Truck Travel
    ON REG ST IO O N B BOSTON REGION METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION M Stephanie Pollack, MassDOT Secretary and CEO and MPO Chair E N T R O I Karl H. Quackenbush, Executive Director, MPO Staff O T P A O IZ LMPOI N TA A N G P OR LANNING TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM DATE: December 21, 2017 TO: Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization FROM: William S. Kuttner RE: Weight and Height Restrictions that Impact Truck Travel 1 INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents information about bridges in the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) area that have signs restricting the weight or height of vehicles permitted to pass over or under them. MassDOT personnel monitor these weight and height restrictions, along with a bridge’s physical condition, or rating, and summarize them as inspection reports in MassDOT’s internal database. However, the physical condition or rating of bridges is not the direct concern of this study. The concern of this study is that truck restrictions cause trucks that are otherwise fully compliant with Massachusetts and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) size guidelines to use more circuitous routes than necessary to reach their various commercial destinations. Forced circuitous truck travel increases expenses for freight carriers and customers, increases the total environmental impact for a given level of freight traffic, and increases the negative impacts on local residents and communities. This study characterizes the severity of height and weight restrictions on trucks in the MPO region. The information developed will be used to evaluate projects considered for inclusion in two MPO planning documents: the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
