Historic photo c. 1912
After 25 years of political wrangling, restoration of the 108’ steel truss Carlton Street Footbridge is underway. Built in 1894, the CSF spans the former Boston & Albany R.R. tracks. It was designed by Alexis H. French, Brookline Town Engineer, as the primary access point to Riverway Park from the Cottage Farm/Longwood residential neighborhoods to the Emerald Necklace linear park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The Project should be completed in spring, 2022.

This is one of what appear to be four "dolphins" - that is, large structures that are designed to prevent ships from veering off-course and crashing into the bridge.
