$20m project will replace a key span
Links Allston to Cambridge
State officials approved a $20 million contract to rebuild a Charles River bridge connecting Harvard Square and Harvard’s Allston campus, the latest project in the $3 billion Accelerated Bridge Program to repair or replace scores of long-neglected spans. The Anderson Memorial Bridge, which links Boston’s North Harvard Street with Cambridge’s John F. Kennedy Street, will be rehabilitated between this spring and the summer of 2014. Similar to the Boston University Bridge, it will be slimmed from four vehicle lanes to three to accommodate bicycle lanes and wheelchair-accessible sidewalks.
