Needham Street Bridge
Needham Street Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Newton and Needham, Massachusetts, US
The Needham Street Bridge features three semi-elliptical arches spanning 27 feet each, with a total length of 95 feet over the Charles River.
Built in 1875 by engineers Hiram Blaisdell and William Wheeler, the bridge connected Newton Centre, Newton Highlands, and Needham center communities.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this bridge in 1986, recognizing it as one of the finest stone arch bridges in the Boston area.
The bridge maintains its original 40-foot roadway width and includes 65 feet of wing walls along both river banks for structural support.
Unlike many historic bridges in the region that underwent modifications, the Needham Street Bridge remains unaltered from its original 19th-century design.
