John W. Weeks Footbridge

Bring a little Cambridge and Boston home.

Metal Art Sign · 7 × 5 inches

At the end of a few errands, setting down your keys leaves a moment to notice the view near the door. John W. Weeks Footbridge brings a pedestrian route into the Charles view, giving the two banks a crossing at the scale of a walk.

John W. Weeks Footbridge was constructed in 1926 and dedicated in 1927. Designed by McKim, Mead & White, it was sold by Harvard to the Commonwealth at dedication. The pedestrian crossing brings a smaller scale to the Charles, connecting its two banks through a route made for walking.

The footbridge connects the Harvard riverfront with a public pedestrian route, keeping walking as part of the basin's history alongside road traffic and rowing. Give it a small indoor wall space where the picture can be seen.
