Interesting Boston Info:
The Big Dig

Boston, Massachusetts had a world-class traffic problem, an elevated six-lane highway called the Central Artery that ran through the center of downtown.  It was one of the most congested highways in the United States.  The solution, called the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T) ("The Big Dig"), was designed to replace the elevated highway with an eight-to-ten-lane underground expressway directly beneath the existing road.

The project will cost the city billions of dollars and has been under construction since late 1991.  No matter where you go around town, you are bound to see construction as part of the Big Dig!  For up-to-date information on the Big Dig, go to MTA's Big Dig Website.
