Default Bridge Photo Thread
Apparently we don't have a general bridge thread, so this may as well be the place for one!

Someone at MassDOT has a Flickr set underway.

@ Van,

I saw that guy's blog, too. Really amazing stuff on that bridge, especially the archways on the tower roof. It just is nothing like you'd expect to find in the U.S.

That guy, you know that guy because he is you?

HenryAlan forgets that half the ArchBoston crew has gone all Hollywood and is famous in various performance, political, news media, and internet venues.

I knew it was his, just a joke. I've read Van's blog for years, finding archboston through him, rather than the other way around.

The MBTA could have used colored concrete on the Lechmere viaduct repairs, to match the original aged concrete, instead of the stark white. Mixing integral coloring into new concrete is not hard to do.

Sarcasm is really lost on message boards.

Slightly off topic but does anyone know if there are any plans to replace the Charlestown Bridge. I remember it is one of the bridges labeled "structurally deficient."
