The river itself is relatively short with a total length of 80  mi (128.7  km ) and lies entirely within Massachusetts. It rises in Echo Lake in Hopkinton and finally empties into Boston in the Boston Harbor .

Structure of the list

The list begins at the source of the river in Hopkinton and heads the bridges in sequential order. The distance data are to be understood as approximate values ​​and may vary depending on the measurement method. For ease of comparison, they are given in both metric and imperial units and refer to the point at which the river leaves Echo Lake for the first time. Only one city is specified under place (s) if the bridge is located on both banks in the same urban area, otherwise both cities or districts concerned are listed.

When the structures were added to the list, no longer existing or underground structures (especially underground tunnels) and ferries were not taken into account.
