About: Central Artery

An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Central Artery (officially the John F. Fitzgerald Expressway) is a section of freeway in downtown Boston, Massachusetts; it is designated as Interstate 93, US 1 and Route 3. The original Artery, constructed in the 1950s, was named after John F. Fitzgerald; it was partly elevated and partly tunneled. Its reputation for congestion inspired the local nicknames "The Distressway," "the largest parking lot in the world", and "the other Green Monster" (the paint of the highway girders shared the same color as the left field wall at Fenway Park). The Artery was significantly rerouted during a 10-year period from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s as part of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (the "Big Dig"). The present-day Artery is almost entirely directed through the newly constructed O'N

dbo:abstract
  • Der John F. Fitzgerald Expressway (auch Central Artery) ist ein Teilstück eines Freeways im Stadtzentrum von Boston im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Er wurde nach John F. Fitzgerald benannt und ist zugleich ausgewiesen als Interstate 93, U.S. Highway 1 und . Der Expressway wurde ursprünglich in den 1950er Jahren als teilweise aufgeständerte, teilweise durch Tunnel geführte Strecke errichtet, verläuft heute jedoch so gut wie ausschließlich durch Tunnel, die im Zuge des Big Dig gebaut wurden und die ehemals oberirdisch verlaufende Central Artery in den Untergrund verlegten. Die ehemalige, oberirdisch verlaufende Strecke war vor dem Umbau als „Leidensweg“, „größter Parkplatz der Welt“ oder auch – vorwiegend aufgrund ihrer grünen Stützträger – als „das zweite grüne Monster“ bekannt. Nach dem Abriss der oberirdischen Fahrbahn wurde diese durch den ersetzt. Der Expressway führt von der Verbindung zur Massachusetts Avenue am Andrew Square im Stadtteil South Boston von Süden nach Norden bis zum Abzweig des U.S. Highway 1 im Stadtteil Charlestown. Gemeinsam mit den Tunneln unter dem Boston Harbor und dem Teilstück des Massachusetts Turnpike von der Massachusetts Route 128 bis nach East Boston gehört der John F. Fitzgerald Expressway zum Metropolitan Highway System. (de)

The present-day Artery is almost entirely directed through the newly constructed O'Neill Tunnel, while the original Artery was demolished and replaced with the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, named after the daughter of John F. Fitzgerald and the mother of John F. Kennedy. According to Massachusetts Executive Office of Transportation data, the Central Artery 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 Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) from Route 128 to East Boston, it is part of the Metropolitan Highway System. (en)
