Description
Tells the story of the planning, design and construction of the Big Dig, Boston's Central Artery and Tunnel project from a personal perspective. This most complex and technologically challenging project is a paradox of praises and blame. This book defends the professionals who planned, designed and constructed it; and blames the politics of project planning for the shortcomings.
