Eliot Bridge, Road and arch bridge along the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
The Eliot Bridge extends across the Charles River with four travel lanes and sidewalks connecting Cambridge with the Allston neighborhood of Boston.
The construction of Eliot Bridge in 1950 established a memorial to Charles W. Eliot, who led Harvard University as president from 1869 to 1909.
The bridge serves as a central location during the annual Head of the Charles Regatta, with the finish line positioned near its crossing point.
Major preservation work scheduled for 2024 includes widening sidewalks, replacing bridge joints, and implementing lighting improvements to enhance safety for all users.
The structure forms an essential link between multiple educational institutions, including Harvard Athletic Complex and Mount Auburn Hospital, while facilitating river crossing.
