The Central Artery, officially the John F. Fitzgerald Expressway, is a section of freeway in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, designated as Interstate 93, U.S. Route 1 and Route 3. It was initially constructed in the 1950s as a partly-elevated and partly-tunneled divided highway. Now, however, it is mostly made up of tunnels that were built during a ten-year period from the mid 1990s to the early 2000s as part of the Big Dig (Central Artery/Tunnel) project.The former route of the above ground Artery was known locally as "the other Green Monster", a reference to a famous part of the city's…mehr

The Central Artery, officially the John F. Fitzgerald Expressway, is a section of freeway in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, designated as Interstate 93, U.S. Route 1 and Route 3. It was initially constructed in the 1950s as a partly-elevated and partly-tunneled divided highway. Now, however, it is mostly made up of tunnels that were built during a ten-year period from the mid 1990s to the early 2000s as part of the Big Dig (Central Artery/Tunnel) project.The former route of the above ground Artery was known locally as "the other Green Monster", a reference to a famous part of the city's Fenway Park baseball stadium, due to the paint color of its girders and its disruption of previously uninterrupted passage between Boston neighborhoods. The structure was replaced mostly by open space known formally as the Rose Kennedy Greenway. According to Massachusetts Executive Office of Transportation data, the Fitzgerald Expressway runs from the Massachusetts Avenue Connector just beyond Andrew Square in South Boston north to the split with U.S. Route 1 in Charlestown. Along with the harbor tunnels and the Turnpike from Route 128 to East Boston, it is part of the Metropolitan Highway System.
