One of the world’s largest cable-stayed bridges appeals Boston’s skyline with a active monument to the city’s long commitment to freedom and democracy. Appreciate extraordinary views from the parks on the Boston side. Photograph opportunities are especially significant around sunset. You may not stroll across the scaffold, albeit pedestrian stream crossings are accessible close by. The crown gem of the "Large Dig" construction project, the 1,432-foot-long Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge (or Zakim Bridge, for short), was designed by Swiss extension designer Christian Menn and is one of the widest link stayed crossover bridges at any point assembled, and the first to use an asymmetrical design. The towers bring out the Bunker Hill Monument, and the distinctive fan shape of the cables gives the scaffold cutting edge energy. The scaffold was named for both Lenny Zakim, a neighborhood social equality activist who headed the New England Region of the Anti-Defamation League (and kicked the bucket of malignancy in 1999) and the Battle of Bunker Hill, a pivotal occasion in U.S. history. Perhaps the best spot to see the scaffold is from the Charlestown waterfront across the waterway.
