When I first started to photograph and document the progress of the Central Artery Tunnel Project
I quickly realized, beyond the magnificence of the engineering, it was the skill of individual
tradesmen and women who would make this project a reality. I also realized this would be the first
thing that would be forgotten as we, the public, begin to use this tunnel when it is complete.
These photographs represent the first installment of what I hope will be many. Over the coming
years as the Central Artery Tunnel is built, I will document its construction and the people making
it happen.
These photographs and my continuing work around this project celebrates these workers and will
document what they do as the old artery is taken down and is replaced.
