All along, we knew the Big Dig was expensive. We know there were some slip-ups, that there was some wasted money, but we could still hope that at least the money was being spent on a job well done, built to last. It wasn't until the tunnels were virtually complete, that their flaws became clear – causing disruption, distrust, and in one case, a needless death. At that point, the question of responsibility over the project took on a whole new meaning..
This is the eighth in a nine-part podcast series about history and politics of the Big Dig – one of the most notoriously troubled infrastructure projects in American history. It was created as an audio experience. This presentation includes archival images.
