The Florida highway through the Keys dates to the 1930s and the NYC Catskill aqueduct to roughly 1916 - those are certainly great projects but aren't the last fifty.

Largely agree with the rest of your comment though :)



Parent was specifically referring to the no. 3 aqueduct for NYC, which was started in the 1960s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Water_Tunnel_No....

Also, the highway through the Keys has seen very large infrastructure improvements over the last few decades, so while not a new project it is a significant civil engineering effort.


Daniel_Newby is likely referring to the third aqueduct tunnel, under construction for ~40 years now. It's not small: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Water_Tunnel_No._...
