A project aims to create a winding pedestrian bridge connecting Boston and Cambridge across the Charles River near the Museum of Science. Initiated by MassDOT and based on a feasibility study, designs include a movable bridge to improve pedestrian and cyclist access while ensuring marine traffic flow. The proposed $302 million project features a multi-use path and three islands to enhance transit and attract wildlife, simulating local ecosystems, which the museum plans to incorporate into its programming.
The project aims to improve transit for pedestrians and bicyclists, including a movable bridge to ensure uninterrupted marine traffic.
A winding pedestrian bridge could connect Boston and Cambridge across the Charles River near the Museum of Science, providing cyclists a safe alternative to busy roads.
The feasibility study proposes a $302 million winding pedestrian bridge connecting various key points between Boston and Cambridge, enhancing access and promoting ecological diversity.
The three islands will act as 'stepping stones' and will also attract wildlife, simulating river ecosystems, while facilitating educational programming by the museum.
