*** About Harvard Bridge: Spanning the Charles River, the Harvard Bridge connects Boston to Cambridge. Despite its name, it is actually maintained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which lies at its northern end. Originally built in 1891, the bridge is famously measured in the quirky unit of "smoots," a term coined in 1958 after an MIT fraternity used brother Oliver Smoot to measure the bridge's length. This vital civil structure not only serves as a practical conduit across the river but also as a cultural and historical landmark in the cityscape of Boston.
