Two governors committed to building a footbridge across the Mystic River between Assembly Row in Somerville and the Encore Boston Harbor casino in Everett. However, years later, construction is yet to start, leaving the public with no clear timeline. The lack of progress highlights a major gap in infrastructure development.
State officials are finalizing the design for the footbridge, considering feedback from cycling advocates. They plan to widen it from 12 to 14 feet to accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists. The delay in construction comes despite the pressing need for car-free travel options amidst significant new developments on both sides of the river.
