John W. Weeks Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Cambridge, United States.
The concrete and limestone bridge extends across the Charles River, connecting Harvard's main campus in Cambridge to its Business School facilities in Allston.
Thirteen friends and business associates of John W. Weeks funded the construction of this bridge, which opened in 1927 as a gift to Massachusetts.
The bridge provides a central crossing point for Harvard University students and faculty, integrating educational spaces across the Charles River.
A 2015 renovation project worth 3 million dollars added accessibility ramps, updated lighting systems, and restored the surrounding riverbank.
The structure contains hidden tunnels that transport Harvard University's steam, electrical systems, and communications networks beneath the pedestrian walkway.
