Landmark
Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge
I-93, Boston, MA 02114, USA
Obelisk-towered cable-stayed span honoring a civil-rights leader who built bridges over shared meals.
This guide to the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge in Boston opens with Bruce Springsteen performing on the span in 2002, then goes back to the man it is named for: a Boston civil rights lawyer who spent years gathering Black ministers, Catholic priests, and rabbis around Passover seder tables. It follows how that dinner-table diplomacy, kept up almost to his death in 1999, led the state to put his name on this new cable-stayed span. Look up at the two obelisk-shaped towers echoing the Bunker Hill Monument across the water.
