	CENTRAL ARTERY/THIRD HARBOR TUNNEL author:Joseph Barressi
		I-90/I-93 Interchange at South Bay, the South Boston tunneling and interchange, and the Ted Williams Tunnel.
		The East Boston connections involve connecting the Ted Williams Tunnel, which emerges in the Logan Airport terminal area, with Route 1A in East Boston, the major highway serving the adjacent North Shore communities.
		It is estimated that about one-third of the cost can be attributed to the required tunneling and interchange construction alone; about 25% to 30% to the measures needed to mitigate the impacts of the construction and meet environmental standards; and nearly 40% to account for inflation and cost escalation dictated by the 25-year design-and-construction period.

		The Ted Williams Tunnel is a 1.6-mile tunnel (of which 0.75 miles lie underwater) that was built using a dozen steel tube sections -- each longer than a football field -- that were sunk into a trench on the Boston Harbor floor and connected together.
		To create the landside tunnel, the ground was excavated, trenches were dug and the tunnel was built from the bottom up.
		In cut-and-cover trench construction, such as the type performed on the Ted Williams Tunnel, it is necessary to control both aquifers since the shallow aquifer has the greatest possibility of becoming contaminated and the deeper one will destroy the bottom of the excavation if not properly handled.

		For example, to compensate for new expenses, Kerasiotes decided that the tiles on the walls of the Ted Williams Tunnel would not go from the bottom of the floor to the tippity-top of the ceiling; they would cover only two-thirds of the walls.

		The dream of a new tunnel was debated, pontificated on, insulted and praised, often all at the same time.
		Whether it be a bridge, or a tunnel, or a new water treatment facility, on opening day we sit back and reflect on the majesty and greatness of what we engineers have done.
