The Charlestown High Bridge , spanned the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts, and was part of I-93/US 1 at the north end of the Central Artery.
This double-decked truss bridge, built in 1954, was to originally carry I-95 through Boston from southwest to northeast in tandem with the Tobin Bridge, built in 1950. The I-95 project and several other highway projects in and around Boston, including both the highly controversial Inner Belt and the Southwest Corridor, completing the right-of-way intended to bring I-95 into Boston from Providence, RI, were cancelled due to heavy public opposition in the early 1970s. I-93 was allowed to be completed from the Yankee Division Highway to the foot of the Charlestown High Bridge in 1969, and the I-93 designation was extended onto the bridge and the Central Artery in the early 1970s.
