So most of us know of the never brought to fruition Dartmouth Street Bridge (although I'd love to compile some more information on it).
But was there ever a more recent plan to connect Binney Street in Cambridge with Blossom Street in the West End? Both are oddly large capacity roads, even for the era they were built. Were they just overbuilt, or was there a plan to build another bridge between the Longfellow and Cragie?
Does anyone know of other Charles River crossings below the Watertown dam that were planned and never built, or removed? The only other one I can think of is the temporary bridge while the BU bridge was being built. I wouldn't count predecessors in this.
