De Lechmere Viaduct is een betonnen boogbrug die de West End-buurt van Boston verbindt met East Cambridge, Massachusetts. Geopend in 1912, voert de viaduct de Green Line van de MBTA over de Charles River. Het ligt naast de Charles River Dam Bridge, maar is structureel gescheiden.
Wanneer de Tremont Street Subway in 1898 volledig opende, moesten de tramwagens die de metro vanuit East Cambridge binnenkwamen, Craigie's Bridge oversteken en op de oppervlaktewegen naar de Canal Street Incline gaan. De reis van Lechmere Point over de brug was traag en onderhevig aan vertragingen. Op 20 juni 1907 begon de bouw van één mijl verhoogd spoor dat de Canal Street Incline met East Cambridge verbond. Het middelpunt van het project was de 1.700 voet lange boogviaduct die de Charles River overstak, met 12 overspanningen waaronder een kort ophaalbruggedeelte.
