The bridge connects the Wonderland rapid transit and bus station and parking garage with Revere Beach over Ocean Avenue.

Its west end connects to an elevated plaza - constructed with the bridge - which is level with the crossover mezzanine of the station.

In the 1970s, Revere officials began considering a pedestrian bridge to allow beachgoers to avoid crossing busy Ocean Avenue at crosswalks.

[6] During his term as mayor from 2000 to 2012, Thomas G. Ambrosino advocated for improvements to Wonderland station, including a parking garage and pedestrian bridge.
