Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge is one of the most widely recognized symbols of Boston. Opened in 2003 as part of the Big Dig project, it is celebrated for its distinctive cable-stayed design, which has become an architectural icon. In contrast, the Longfellow Bridge, known for its charming series of arches, connects Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood with Cambridge. Completed in 1906, it reflects the engineering aesthetic of the early 20th century and remains a beloved historical feature along the Charles River.
