State transportation workers found 26 loose wall panels inside the Sumner Tunnel during an inspection late Sunday night into Monday morning and removed them, after an examination last week in the Callahan Tunnel found 121 loose panels.
“Overall, the condition of the wall panels in the Sumner is much better than what we found in the Callahan,’’ said Frank DePaola, highway administrator for the state Department of Transportation, during a press conference at the department’s headquarters in downtown Boston Monday.

Who was the genius that decided not to use stainless steel hardware in an environment replete with water and salt? Idiots!
As I recall, stainless steel hardware is used, but the frames are galvanized steel. The frames should be stainless, too. You can buy stainless exhaust systems for some cars, and these outlast the car.
