Craigie Bridge and Viaduct

Craigie Drawbridge, Old Charles River Locks Closeup of Craigie Drawbridge (in green and black) The Craigie Dam and Craigie Drawbridge carry McGrath O’Brien Highway (Route 28) between Land Blvd. in Cambridge and Leverett Circle in Boston. New in 2011, the drawbridge replaced The old bridge which was constructed in 1910, along with the dam that turned the lower Charles River from a tidal estuary into a fresh-water basin. A new dam and set of locks were built in 1978 downstream from the old locks and dam, replacing those built in 1910. The Museum of Science sits on the old dam. Photo 24d, Oct 2011 |
