Bowker Overpass, Steel road bridge in Boston, Massachusetts, United States
The Bowker Overpass spans across Interstate 90, connecting Boylston Street to Storrow Drive while running parallel to the Muddy River.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation opened this steel bridge in 1965 to facilitate traffic movement between key urban areas of Boston.
The bridge structure intersects with the Emerald Necklace park system, affecting the connection between urban green spaces and the Charles River Esplanade.
The overpass provides essential access routes from Back Bay to Storrow Drive, directing traffic toward Interstate 90 and Downtown Boston.
Two major rehabilitation projects, estimated at 179 million dollars, will transform the bridge structure and reconfigure the Storrow Drive eastbound section.
