Boston's Central Artery/Tunnel project is the largest infrastructure undertaking ever attempted at a single US location. It involves reconstructing Interstate 93 (I-93) by depressing it into a tunnel and subsequently removing the original elevated highway (known as the 'Central Artery'). The new I-93 will emerge from the tunnel near the south bank of the Charles River and rise to cross the river on a cable-stayed bridge. This structure, unique in the world, will be both longitudinally and transversely asymmetrical. The second phase of the project extends the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) through South Boston and under Boston Harbour to Logan International Airport. This paper reports on the current status of the project and its many interchanges.
