New Longfellow Bridge Experience
Written by Boston Biker on Jul 29

I got my first chance to ride over the Longfellow this morning with the new traffic layout. And I have to say its pretty nice. They need to address some of the lights after you are off the bridge (inbound from Cambridge) to make the left hand turns safer, but other than that it was great. I think the car drivers have learned to go someplace else/take the T/ride there bike, because there were almost no cars, and A LOT more cyclists than usual.
It would be great if they just left it one lane in each direction and put in giant sidewalks and bike lanes…but I don’t think we are there yet. Good to know the bridge can function just fine with “extra” bike/ped accommodations though.
Anyone else ride over it yet? Any other thoughts?
