Tour of Longfellow Bridge
Bridge designer Miguel Rosales will conduct an in-depth tour of the restoration and rehabilitation of the landmark bridge.
This tour will discuss the design goals and the overall process of restoring one of the most important historic bridges in the City of Boston. The Longfellow Bridge over the Charles River, completed in 1908, has undergone a comprehensive five-year restoration to:
- extend its useful life
- comply with current safety codes, and
- enhance its appearance while also preserving its historic integrity and original detailing.
The bridge will also be reconnected to the historic park system along the Charles River basin.
