Reviews
"Architectural beauty. We saw it from a nearby park so the kids could play and have fun while we took in all the fun. The park is quite nice with some fun play areas for the kids that I haven’t seen often in other parks.We did walk on the bridge a little bit but had to return because we were short of time. Parking is available near USS constitution and there are couple of restaurants along the harbor walk. You can visit the park, harbor walk and see the ships by parking here and North End is quite near from here too."
"This two pillar bridge connects the North End downtown area with Bunker Hill. It's an impressive structure, which was nice to walk over, drive over and see it from the harbor cruise. Certainly, one of Boston landmarks."
"Architectural Walking Tour, Boston. Beautiful cable stay bridge with striking split towers. The park below is a nice place to occupy in an otherwise busy area. The structure of the bridge from below is fun to observe and interesting to imagine how difficult it must have been to build."
"03/20/2022 was the first time crossing this Bridge/Tunnel. Just remember traffic makes sudden stops , especially before entering the tunnel"
"Absolutely gorgeous scenery. I saw it from a distance and wondered what the heck it could be, and then found out it’s a bridge! The architecture is somewhat reminiscent of the ropes which hold up the sail of an old boat; maybe a reference to the USS constitution."
