I know that many VTers have heard of the Big Dig. One of the most costly transportation projects in the United States.. Perhaps the world by now!
To see what' it's done to our lovely city, take a look at the picture here. It has made many of the roads near un-navigable, And even people who have always known their way around, are having a hard time getting from here to there. Yes, Im talking about myself! The barricades around the work areas are a real eyesore.
However, the work is pretty much confined to certain areas at the present time. Mostly near the waterfront areas. And the other parts of the city are still beautiful and wonderful to visit.
Dont put off your trip to Boston due to the Big Dig, just beware of it.
And, I like everyone else in Boston am looking forward to the lovely park that will be put in place of the big elevated roadway and all the work areas. I do expect that at the end of it all, the nuisance will have been worth it. (But then Im always an optimist)
