Harvard Bridge
Boston, MA
The proposed project involves the architectural lighting of Harvard Bridge over the Charles River between Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 1891 historic bridge lighting program consists of new architectural lighting elements on the bridge, including roadway and sidewalk streetlamps, sidewalk “Smoot” lights, I-beam enhancement lights, arched I-girder lights, and granite pier face lights. The design concept was generated based on the historic bridge’s structure, shape, and details. The lighting design will create an elegant visual icon that can redefine its presence during special events and holidays, as well as provide additional safety for pedestrians and bikers at night.
