Harvest River Tied Arch Bridge - Boston-Milton, MA - Arch Bridges on Waymarking.com

Along the Neponset River separating Boston and Milton is the Harvest River Bridge, which is a tied cable arch bridge.

The bridge is located near Ryan Playground in the village of Mattapan. The parking lot is off River Street and is the nearest parking lot to the bridge. From the parking lot, walk on the connector to the main path, paved, then turn left and walk on the path to the bridge about a 100 yards down.

The bridge has a horizontal deck and two circular arches that has been likened to basket handles. From these arch supports, cables are suspended and are attached to the deck. The deck itself has two parts jutting out to provide a place to view the river either upstream or downstream. There is a railing on both sides, as well.

The bridge can be traversed by walking or biking.

The dimensions are estimated as I could find nothing yet that provides specs on it.
