Big Dig Walking Tour: From the Central Artery to the Rose Kennedy Greenway

Overview

Walk the West End and learn about the engineering and political maneuvering that made the Big Dig possible.

Join The West End Museum for a walking tour of the Big Dig’s triumphs and tribulations from the Central Artery to the Rose Kennedy Greenway.

The Big Dig was an ambitious project, an engineering marvel, and a complicated solution to a complicated problem. From burying a highway under an active city to building the world’s first asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge, this tour will uncover how the Central Artery Project left its mark on Downtown Boston and beyond.

Walk the streets of the West End and trace the path of Boston’s biggest urban planning project from the old central artery to the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
