Abstract
The Central Artery/Tunnel (CA/T) project in Boston has been under construction for over six years. The downtown portion of the project consists of the excavation and construction of an eight lane underground roadway over which the existing elevated highway continues to carry almost 200,000 vehicles a day. Currently, more than 100 pieces of construction equipment operate within a mile stretch of this 300-foot wide urban corridor where residents, businesses, pedestrians, local street and elevated highway traffic will continue to exist during the next few years of construction.
