I spoke with the Rotundi crew.
03:26
They're working for Comcast and they were digging around a manhole, which is in the middle of the road in front of near Brattle St,
03:33
in the northbound lane,
03:35
and they're waiting for the mix to come to fill it. So you get about a four-inch drop in the middle of the lane until it gets filled around the manhole, square around the manhole. So it's unsafe for vehicles to drive in this lane.
