The Lechmere Viaduct (English Lechmere Viaduct , also Charles River Viaduct ) is an arched bridge designed as a viaduct that connects the cities of Boston and Cambridge across the Charles River in the state of Massachusetts in the United States . The structure was completed in 1910 and has since been used by the Green Line tram .
The viaduct is the last remaining part of the former as the elevated train operated Causeway Street Elevated , from after their demolition of the Green Line emerged. The bridge connects Lechmere Station in Cambridge (the northern terminus of Green Line E ) with Science Park Station on the Boston side of the river.
