Boston s b o stinks alternatives to the bowker overpass


The Philip G. Bowker Overpass (also known as Charlesgate) is a steel beam bridge with a suspended deck carrying Charlesgate Street over Commonwealth Avenue, Beacon Street, and Interstate 90. It connects Boylston Street to Storrow Drive. It runs parallel to the Muddy River. In 2011, there was talk about tearing down the bridge and widening local streets as the bridge is considered an eyesore and bisects the Emerald Necklace.
