[edit] Name

"Official"?? "The Big Dig" is the official name of the project?? Certainly it is the common colloquial name of the project, and the name used in the Boston Globe, but usually the official name is one that is known only to those who dig out legal documents --- acts of Congress and the like, and is not nearly so poetic.

http://www.masspike.com/bigdig/index.html It appears to be the name MassPike Transit Authority uses, too. Official? I doubt it's listed in legal documents, but this is about as official as I would require. That's just me.

The official name is the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CAT).

The orignial name, now shortended was Central Artery/Third Tunnel Project.15:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)dsjochrist

[edit] A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!

Removed Panama Canal comparison. It's rather meaningless unless it they are in inflation adjusted figures.

[edit] Requests

Is there a map of the project somewhere? That would really explain things better. A link to the map would also be fine if there isn't one in the public domain.

There is a map publishe by the MTA here: http://www.masspike.com/img/big_dig/multimedia/maps/completion_lg.jpg
