From 1900 to 2020, the North Washington Street Bridge was the easternmost crossing over the Charles River. It connected City Square in Charlestown to downtown Boston (specifically, the North End and West End) in Keany Square, but eventually fell into disrepair. A modern bridge is under construction to replace it, with a temporary bridge being used to speed that process.

Before the bridge closed permanently, I used a Rylo camera to record a walk across it for posterity.
