Los Angeles' Largest Infrastructure Project

This might be the Information Age, when everything seems to happen instantaneously. But in at least one case, our 21st century economic fortunes ride on a slow-moving train... "In scale, cost and complexity, the Alameda Corridor rivals the most ambitious infrastructure projects of its time, including the Central Artery highway relocation effort in Boston. It's a $2.2 billion project that required the combined efforts of dozens of federal, state, and local agencies, as well as two major railroads, Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific. It took more than 20 years to bring the project to fruition, five years for construction alone."
