Charles River Bridges

Handsome and historically significant bridges span the Charles River from the mouth of the harbor to the fall line at Watertown Square (WA5). They document the process of expansion from the Shawmut Peninsula to the northern shore of the Charles River. The Charlestown Bridge was chartered in 1785, replacing the ferry service between the North End and Charlestown that provided the quickest route to northern communities.
