TRANSPORTATION AT THE MILLENNIUM: In Search of a Megaproject Lens

Wendy Haynes

Review of Policy Research, 2002, vol. 19, issue 2, 62-64

Abstract: Penetrating the complexity of publicly funded megaprojects‐ those costing in excess of $1 billion—is no small task, but it can be a rewarding one. Five tiers of rich descriptors emerge from the literature: history and purpose; context; project structure; funding; and performance measures. The five‐tier approach is used to analyze one megaproject: Boston's $14‐billion‐plus Central Artery/Tunnel Project. With time and attention, this preliminary framework could be helpful in profiling and learning from public works megaprojects generally, and transportation megaprojects particularly.
