The Big Dig strategically reconnected Boston’s historic neighborhoods, such as the North End and its harborside wharfs, with key destinations like the downtown business district and Faneuil Hall Marketplace. By enhancing connectivity, it transformed amenities like Columbus Waterfront Park, Long Wharf, and the New England Aquarium into more accessible and valuable urban assets. This demonstrates the importance of planning highway caps or lids with a clear strategy to enhance connections, rather than pursuing them as standalone projects.

A 2-mile stretch of the Donaldson Highway is being widened to five, six, and seven lanes, depending on the section of roadway.

Spanning 1,645 feet in length, the Beaver River Bridge has five sections that soar 200 feet above the river.

An over 11-mile section of I-40 is being widened between Raleigh and Greensboro, North Carolina.

When the new 110-foot by 600-foot lock is completed, it is expected to increase efficiency by 80 percent for waterborne transportation.

The U.S. 131 project will extend the service life for 4 miles of roadway in southern Kent County.

The replacement for the Black Hawk Bridge will be 40 feet wide and include two 12-foot lanes and 8-foot shoulders on both sides.

The Route 79-Davol Street corridor improvements project will connect the waterfront back to the city, provide accommodations to bicyclists, and give pedestrians access to the river.

The Glenn Highway project is adding lanes, widening shoulders, adding turn lanes and frontage roads, and adding a separated pathway.

Approximately 170 apprentices are currently registered in Sundt’s certified apprenticeship programs.

The new 164,000-square-foot tower at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital - Westover Hills expands the hospital’s obstetric, neonatal, and adult intensive care services.
