“The Leonard P. Zakim … Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge (also known as ‘The Zakim’) is a cable-stayed bridge completed in 2003 across the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. It is a replacement for the Charlestown High Bridge, an older truss bridge constructed in the 1950s.
“The bridge and connecting tunnel were built as part of the Big Dig, the largest highway construction project in the United States.
