The two largest developments on the Mystic River, Assembly Row in Somerville and Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, are planned to be the landing points for the river’s first-ever pedestrian and bicycle bridge. This link will provide a safe, car-free route to access riverfront destinations and create a regional connection from the North Shore to Boston via the Northern Strand and planned Rutherford Avenue Greenway.
The project is currently under design development by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), and $50 million has been budgeted for its construction.
