The Big Dig is located in Massachusetts and is considered to be one of the most complexed highways in the United States. The Big Dig was constructed to replace a 6 lane highway that caused heavy traffic and expanded it to a ten lane highway with bridges that made it connect with the airport and downtown Boston. A plus for the big dig is that it took traffic away from neighborhood streets and kept them on the highway. The highway also had many problems that came with it due to bad construction, criminal arrest, one death, and a leak. The BigDig is most controversial because of its price tag being $2.8 billion in federal tax money and is projected to be well over $22 billion within the next 15 years.
