Chelsea Street Bridge, Vertical-lift road bridge in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
The Chelsea Street Bridge spans 450 feet across the Chelsea Creek with two lanes in each direction and pedestrian walkways for safe crossing.
The current structure, inaugurated in 2012, replaced a 1937 single-leaf bascule bridge that served the region for over seven decades.
The bridge functions as a crucial connection point between East Boston and Chelsea, supporting the movement of residents, workers, and goods.
Bridge operators monitor marine traffic and initiate up to ten daily lifts, raising the central span 175 feet to accommodate large vessels.
The MBTA Silver Line SL3 route incorporates the Chelsea Street Bridge into its public transportation network, enhancing regional mobility.
