Boston Public Garden Foot Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Boston Public Garden, United States
The footbridge spans across the central lagoon of Boston Public Garden, connecting walking paths through carefully maintained gardens and lawns.
Originally constructed in 1867 as a suspension bridge, the structure underwent a transformation into a girder bridge during renovations in 1921.
The bridge acts as a central meeting point where visitors gather to observe the Swan Boats that navigate the lagoon during spring and summer.
Visitors can access the bridge daily from 6:00 AM to 11:30 PM through multiple entrances located along Charles Street and Arlington Street.
A commemorative plaque installed by the Boston Society of Civil Engineers in 1936 marks the location where the world's shortest suspension bridge once stood.
