Northern Avenue Bridge

[2] In an October 26, 2015 letter, the Coast Guard informed the City of Boston that the bridge was a 'hazard to navigation' due to the risk of it falling into the Fort Point Channel and requested removal of its most vulnerable portion.

[4] From 1912 to 1948, the bridge abutted a floating firehouse for Engine 44 of the Boston Fire Department.

[10][11][12] In December 2019, city officials announced that the bridge would be rebuilt for use solely by pedestrians and bicyclists.

[13] Updated plans were announced in May 2020; design was expected to be finalized by the end of 2020 and construction to begin in 2021.

[15] On November 4, 2024, the City of Boston submitted a Project Notification Form to the Massachusetts Historical Commission setting out its plan to demolish the bridge.
