Boston Opens Last Artery Highway To Tunnels Plan
The Central Artery, long criticized as a brutal elevated highway, closes with a ribbon cutting by Mayor Menino and MTA chair Amorello. A two mile southbound I 93 tunnel opens beneath downtown Boston, part of the $14.6 billion Big Dig offset by decades of delays and cost overruns. Elaine Cronin and the Najjar family mark the historic run, while officials hail the project as history in the making.
