Boston Warning or Danger Tips by RhondaRuth

'The Big Dig Central Artery project's unique challenge is the fact that it is being built in the middle of a city. Work of this magnitude and duration has never been attempted in the heart of an urban area, but unlike any other major highway project, the venture is designed to maintain traffic capacity and access to residents and businesses - to keep the city open for business - throughout construction.' : http://www.bigdig.com/ ---
That's no easy task!
My warning: watch the SIGNS, an exit or a whole portion of a roadway can be changed over night. And that's no lie!

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!!

... and look up at the same time! The streets are busy with trucks & cars and the sidewalks with pedestrians! But the architecture is fascinating isn't it? Or is that just because I come from the country?
