Yes, and hazmat trucks in Boston use surface streets. The Big Dig has a wide surface boulevard above the tunnel (Atlantic/Cross) which Oak Park does not.

Rerouting on 294 is a nice idea, but the City of Chicago is still a big industrial city and still contains a ton of businesses dealing in hazardous materials. Boston is a smaller/wealthier city and has fewer of those.
