Finishing the Big Dig / Photo gallery
Finishing the Big Dig After four decades, the Central Artery mistake is about to be corrected. The elevated highway will carry its last car next year, when the southbound lanes of the new I-93 tunnel open. The Artery will then be demolished, and replaced with parks, public squares, and buildings.
