As a Bostonian for much of my life the thought of any sufficiently large tunnel project is cringe inducing. Maybe he can call it "The Bigger Dig"? Edit: Conte

  ... and traffic is still horrible. Compared to pre-big dig days? It's not even close. Boston traffic has mostly normal rush hour periods now. I can get from Somerville to Braintree in 30 minutes during peak periods. That same trip could have taken 60-90 minutes during the elevated artery days. It was often faster to take 128 and go around Boston to get from the north shore to the south shore rather than take 93 though Boston.
