Publisher's Synopsis
This preliminary design report documents the early planning stages of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T), known locally as the "Big Dig," in Boston, Massachusetts. Undertaken by Bechtel/Parsons Brinckerhoff for the Massachusetts Department of Public Works, the report focuses on design contract D001A, specifically the Kneeland Street to Congress Street section of the project. This report provides insights into the initial design considerations and engineering challenges involved in one of the most complex and expensive highway projects in U.S. history. It offers a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of urban infrastructure development and the long-term impact of large-scale construction projects on city landscapes.
