The Big Dig

Also known as the Central Artery, the Big Dig is one of the largest highway construction projects undertaken in the United States. In the City of Boston, the Big Dig has affected how traffic has and will move on such corridors as Interstates 90 and 93. Here is a look at the Big Dig with photos taken by Chris Jordan on January 8, 2003.
