Echo Bridge
Bring a little Newton and Needham home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
Set down a drink and leave a little time for conversation. Echo Bridge's stone arch crosses the Charles at Upper Newton Falls, with the smaller Ellis Street arch giving the structure a second local relationship.
Echo Bridge was constructed in 1876–1877 as part of the Sudbury Aqueduct, completed in 1878. Its stone arch crosses the Charles at Upper Newton Falls; a smaller arch spans Ellis Street. The bridge is a reminder that the river landscape carried water-supply infrastructure as well as roads and industry.
The aqueduct bridge connects this river landscape with water supply, a useful distinction from the road and railway crossings elsewhere along the Charles. A quiet evening, a book and a glass of water leave room for the view as part of a simple moment at home.
