The Big Dig began with activists who hated highways

The most expensive highway project ever built in America began with a man who hated highways. An activist and an engineer, Fred Salvucci helped stop a highway from being built through Boston. Then he came up with another idea: tear down an elevated highway through the city and replace it with a tunnel. The project became known as the Big Dig. It was one of the most notoriously troubled infrastructure projects in American history; yet it delivered on its promise to transform the city of Boston. This is the first in a nine-part podcast series about the history and politics of Boston's Big Dig. It was created as an audio experience; this presentation includes archival images.
