Lots Of Items Still To Be Finished On Big Dig

BOSTON (AP) ― While Dec. 31, 2007 marked the official end of the Big Dig, contractors still have a lengthy to-do list for the massive highway project.

According to The Boston Globe, unfinished business includes everything from missing pedestrian handrails and misplaced signs to more serious issues like plugging tunnel leaks.

Officials say most of the 2,000 or so leftover items can be completed without further disruption to commuters, but some could require road closures and detours.

Project managers have said that it could take up to 18 months to dot all the I's and cross all the T's. But Massachusetts Turnpike Authority executive director Alan LeBovidge says it will be difficult to ever use the word "complete" to describe the Big Dig.

He says maintenance and repairs on the project will be an ongoing concern.
