Description:	The Ted Williams Tunnel connects Interstate 93 to Boston's Logan Airport, traveling under Boston Harbor. The 1.6-mile tunnel is of the immersed tube type  (as opposed to dug tunnels), where pre-made tube sections are sunk into place and fastened together. It is part of the Big Dig, the nation's most expensive urban highway program, that is transforming Boston's waterfront. The 20 year long, $10 billion project is centered around Interstate 93's congested path through the city. Several routes are being constructed to relieve traffic on the downtown stretch of the highway, including the Ted Williams Tunnel. I-93 itself is being relocated below ground, removing the narrow and obtrusive elevated Central Artery freeway through some of Boston's most valuable real estate.
