Jennifer C. • July 6, 2010The most breathtaking view, by far, of Boston's July 4th Fireworks Spectacular can be enjoyed mid-river on the Harvard Bridge sidewalk. Arrive around 6:30 for a "front-row" spot--it gets crowded fast!
Travelhound12 • April 2, 2023Great views of Boston and the Charles River Basin. Based on the time of year, you’ll see racing shells practicing, or boats heading up- or downriver. Beautiful spot for the fireworks on July 4th.
Jose V. • June 30, 2014If you're a Chelsea or Charlestown resident, take advantage of the discounted rate. Just .30 cents. The special orange EZPass transponder can be obtained at the EZPass office with proof of residency.
James • May 14, 2013Use the Chelsea St. Bridge if this one is up. Just make sure the ship is heading away from you or you'll get stuck their too.
Eric O. • May 9, 2013This is a great place for a group picture. Just don't block the bridge; it's fairly narrow and can get crowded on pleasant days.
Tammy • October 29, 2013Mayor Menino "flipped the switch" tonight, Oct. 29, 2013, and this bridge is now illuminated with LED lights! Thanks to Light Boston!
Eric O. • October 31, 2012The entire Charles River has been squished under this short bridge. Humans 1, Nature 0.
Eric A. • March 24, 2013Originally called the Strauss Bascule Bridge, it was built by Coleman Brothers, Inc in 1931
Johny B. • May 11, 2010This bridge has it's own weather system and all extremes are found here. Hold onto your hat!
Mose B. • December 3, 2012"...Built 1950-51 by the Institutions Department of the City of Boston, and calls it the "Long Island Viaduct" The metal structure links Moon Island to LI via an aged metal bridge.
Harvard Business School • May 17, 2012This footbridge, built over the Charles River, connects Harvard Business School's campus in Allston with Harvard's campus in Cambridge.
Matt C. • May 30, 2012Whoever created this location on FourSquare should know that it is actually the West Fourth Street bridge.
Tom C. • May 15, 2012Why do they wait until 100 yards after road narrows to tell you to a lane is going away?
Martin P. • May 6, 2013Watch your step. In spots the ground is uneven, and sometimes you have to dodge runners.
