MBTA - Cove Road Overpass
Description
"The deck plate girder bridge was fabricated in 1929 by the Phoenix Bridge Company, and approved by engineer W. F. Fry. It consists of 4 stringers per track with lower lateral Warren bracing and a wooden deck. The southwestern abutment is of concrete while the northeastern one is of stone with a 9 courses high with wing walls. This bridge replaces an earlier bridge fabricated by the Boston Bridge works in 1886. It is possible that the remaining stone abutments date to this earlier bridge." - Massachusetts Historical Commission (P.K. Lazrus, MBTA Historic Property Survey, 11/1987)
