The new Northern Avenue Bridge will replace a century-old truss movable bridge over the Fort Point Channel. The new bridge will include wide sidewalks and bicycle tracks with beautiful views of the harbor. The design of the elegant suspension bridge and overall architecture is inspired by the marine environment and many sailboats on the water. The dramatic single tower suspension bridge will create a new gateway to the waterfront and a dramatic statement in the cityscape. The new bridge will also include curved overlooks and open space near the center navigation span with seating and landscaping for users to enjoy views of the harbor and the city. In addition, the bridge will also potentially carry emergency vehicles in the future. The bridge will be illuminated at night becoming a beacon in the city and a memorable waterfront asset.
