Boston's Big Dig was one of largest engineering projects in history. It created a massive system of tunnels where an elevated highway once stood in the heart of the city, and added a new tunnel to Logan Airport to the east and a stunning new bridge to Charlestown to the north. It completely transformed the City of Boston and made it more walkable and livable. On this episode of What's New, hear the story of how giant engineering projects like the Big Dig come together, and a rare interview with Fred Salvucci, the transportation engineer who made it happen.
