"Do not attempt to drive while..." Parking & Driving Tip by diver-x

Do not attempt to drive while in Boston. You will only excercise your patience to its absolute limit or beyond. There's nowhere to park anyway. Take the T or cab it.

Someday it will be done. But for now, residents and visitors must contend with The Big Dig. Touted as the largest & most complex public works project in North America, The Central Artery/Tunnel project has been confounding drivers and pedestrians alike with street closings, reroutings, blockages and traffic cops who really don't have a clue about how to efficiently direct traffic.
.
The project includes building several tunnels, highways, bridges and new public transportation routes in and around Boston, all in an attempt to relieve traffic congestion & gridlock caused by the thousands of cars that come into and out of town and Logan airport each day. Begun in 1991, it was promised the project would be complete by 2004, but we're crossing our fingers on that one. Visit the Big Dig website (http://www.bigdig.com) for interesting facts about the project as well as some pretty good pictures of what's going on around town. They even have a section about the archeological finds that have been dug up in the course of the project.
