Around the Country

The Big Dig strategically reconnected Boston’s historic neighborhoods, such as the North End and its harborside wharfs, with key destinations like the downtown business district and Faneuil Hall Marketplace. By enhancing connectivity, it transformed amenities like Columbus Waterfront Park, Long Wharf, and the New England Aquarium into more accessible and valuable urban assets. This demonstrates the importance of planning highway caps or lids with a clear strategy to enhance connections, rather than pursuing them as standalone projects.
