The BU Bridge was closed for repairs tonight, but apparently nobody told at least one driver on the 47 bus. Marti V. tweeted her ride from the Boston side of the river to Central Square tonight:

Oh good. BU Bridge is closed. No one told the 47 bus driver. She's asking a cop for directions. Adventure time?

She just keeps going 'oh god.' in some carribbean accent while she talks on the phone with someone for where she's supposed to go.
