Primary Project Type

Streets

The new bridge will complement the Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge next door. The new bridge will be walkable, multi-modal, green, and sustainable. Everyone will be able to safely use the bridge. That includes pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.

The design calls for:

wider sidewalks
gathering places
innovative accent lighting
protected bicycle facilities, and
smoother walking surfaces to support the Freedom Trail.
