    The Big Dig in Boston is finally nearing the end? The half way mark? Well some the the MAJOR portions are completed or about to be nearing completion. It's not the time to take your eyes off of road signs tho. New tunnels and off ramps to the city are opening or have been opened. Here's one from the Tip O'Neal (Main Artery) which is the Storrow Drive Exit. I must admit , it's a pleasure to get from the Airport to the Sumner Tunnel to Exiting the edge of the Tip Tunnel to Storrow Drive or even North Station now. Use to be such a CHORE!! Want to know more about the Tunnels? see http://www.irishabroad.com/irishworld/Boston/bigdig/bigdig3110.asp For live camera shots of the traffic etc. see the website below.

    The Big Dig will never be completed. It is the most complex and expensive highway project ever undertaken in the United States. Traffic is usually at a standstill, dust and noise surround parts of Boston, all the while the price of the Big Dig goes up.

    Big Dig: ***DO NOT DRIVE IN BOSTON****

  • The headaches simply are NOT worth it. The Big Dig is indeed a big dig, right now we have an enormous crater in the middle of our fair city, all in the name of reducing traffic (Even though we all know that in the end it will just hide it). Diggers found more toxic waste down there then they dumped it back into the Charles. Gotta love it. But, why it is so dangerous to drive in Boston, or more particularly around the Big Dig/North End is because NO MAP CAN ACCURATELY CHART WHICH WAY THE STREETS WILL MOVE. Every day the police and construction workers reroute and detour new streets to different places, so even natives get lost. Driving is unncesseccary. Public transportation is cheap and effective! Use it. $1 for the T.

    Big Dig: The Big Dig

  • This is a warning, not a danger! The Big Dig has been disrupting Boston's traffic for what seems like forever, and while things are definitely moving along, beware of unexpected changes to traffic flow, and street closings, at more or less any time. Because so much has changed so fast, that map that you've kept in your car for five years (or even just five weeks) is probably completely useless. Follow the signs, try to remain patient, or, better yet, take the T . And just remember, when it's all over, there's going to be a fabulous new park in downtown Boston!
