Early Morning Drive from Ted Williams Tunnel, Boston Massachusetts to Washington Street, Newton Massachusetts.
The Ted Williams Tunnel (TWT) beneath Boston Harbor was the first completed milestone of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project. It opened on schedule and within its $1.3 billion budget on December 15, 1995.
Named for the Boston Red Sox Legend, the tunnel doubles Boston's cross-harbor tunnel capacity from four lanes to eight.
The .75-mile underwater part of the 1.6 mile tunnel used a dozen steel tube sections, each longer than a football field. These were placed into a trench on the Boston Harbor floor and were then connected.
