I just knew they should have used giant lego pieces to begin with (not as easy to detach)

Roman underground works, for example under Constantinople, are still holding up the city and are can be explored with safety.

there are scores of such examples of ancient building & engineering.

Structures thousands of years old are still viable while modern construction can't even last through construction...Can you think of one single building/structure, for example, that will still have one stone standing in 100 years let alone last as long as the Roman Baths in Bath, UK?

> Did the Big Dig win some awards ?

I believe it did, but like all awards I am aware of, they were based on the plans rather than the execution. Any idiot can draw a line on a piece of paper and make it look good.
