Boston is a notoriously difficult city to navigate by automobile, and with "The Big Dig" underway, traffic has even more potential for becoming hopelessly snarled. The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority keeps Boston travelers up to date on the progress of The Central Artery/Tunnel Project know as "The Big Dig," including the construction's impact on traffic. According to the Big Dig Web site, "The Central Artery Project makes almost continuous changes in traffic patterns in downtown Boston as construction progresses, but most of these changes are minor and localized. Drivers should keep two ideas in mind as they travel through the city: expect change, but know that the project's key commitment is to keep the city open for business, traffic moving, and access preserved to all destinations."
