| Who cares about a tunnel! | | |
The Big Dig was a multifaceted project that replaced I-93 in Boston with an underground highway, two bridges over the Charles River, extended I-90 to Logan International Airport, and reconnected downtown Boston to the waterfront. Planning began 1982 amid debate over the many challenges that lay ahead. Congress approved federal funding to support the project in 1987. Construction began in September 1991 on a bypass and one of the Big Dig's name-sake tunnels under Boston Harbor. The first tunnel was opened and dedicated on January 13, 2006. It was named after Red Sox great Ted Williams who accumulate a life-time batting average of .344 and hit 521 home runs in his 21 years with the Sox!
