After more than 15 years and $14.8 billion, Boston’s Big Dig project officially ends today.
A study by the Turnpike Authority found the Big Dig cut the average trip through Boston from 19.5 minutes to 2.8 minutes.
Given the number of people moving through the area each day and how much time is saved, $14.8 billion doesn’t seem like such a huge amount.
Jason may have a point here but as a 5-year resident of the Hub I feel like it’s been an emotional weight on the city’s back for long time, and I’m sure most residents are just glad it’s over with.
