About: Leverett Circle Connector Bridge

An Entity of Type: Box girder bridge, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Leverett Circle Connector Bridge is a highway bridge over the Charles River, carrying two lanes each of northbound and southbound traffic. It connects to Interstate 93 (I-93) in Somerville, Massachusetts (Northern Expressway) at the northern end (exit 18, formerly 26 from I-93 south) and splits at the southern end, providing direct access to both Storrow Drive and Leverett Circle in Boston. Going northbound, there is also a fork which provides access to the City Square Tunnel under Charlestown to proceed on U.S. Route 1 (US 1) northbound via the Tobin Bridge.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Leverett Circle Connector Bridge (auch Storrow Drive Connector Bridge) ist eine stählerne Kastenträgerbrücke im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Sie führt je zwei Fahrspuren in nördlicher und südlicher Fahrtrichtung über den Charles River und verbindet dabei die Interstate 93 an ihrem nördlichen Ende in Somerville mit dem Storrow Drive und an ihrem südlichen Ende in Boston. Das Bauwerk wurde ebenso wie die benachbarte Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge im Zuge des Big Dig errichtet und konnte eine Woche vor dem Plan am 7. Oktober 1999 eröffnet werden. Während der Bauphase wurde sie aufgrund des deutlichen Unterschieds zur Zakim-Brücke auch Baby Bridge genannt. Die Brücke ist die größte Kastenträgerbrücke in den Vereinigten Staaten. Sie wurde im Jahr 2001 mit dem „Prize Bridge“ der (NSBA) ausgezeichnet. (de)
  • The Leverett Circle Connector Bridge is a highway bridge over the Charles River, carrying two lanes each of northbound and southbound traffic.

Going northbound, there is also a fork which provides access to the City Square Tunnel under Charlestown to proceed on U.S. Route 1 (US 1) northbound via the Tobin Bridge. The span was built in conjunction with the more dramatic Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge as part of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project, widely known as the Big Dig. During construction, the Leverett Circle Connector Bridge was sometimes called "Baby Bridge". The bridge opened for traffic on October 7, 1999, at a cost of $22.27 million (equivalent to $33.2 million in 2020). Also known as the Storrow Drive Connector, it is the largest steel box girder bridge in the United States. It was the winner of a July 2001 National Steel Bridge Alliance (NSBA) "prize bridge" award. Its weaving design was determined by the other major structures involved in the Big Dig but unlike other parts of the project, it was finished eight days ahead of schedule. (en)
