*** About Harvard Bridge: The Harvard Bridge, which connects Boston to Cambridge, is a vital artery in local infrastructure and a historic symbol in its own right. Despite its name, the bridge is more officially connected to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which lies at its Cambridge end. It was originally constructed in 1891 and has undergone several renovations to accommodate increasing traffic and modern standards. Notably, the bridge is measured in a quirky unit known as "smoots", a term coined in 1958 after an MIT fraternity used one of its pledges, Oliver Smoot, to measure the bridge's length. This unit has become a beloved part of local culture and adds to the bridge’s unique charm and story.
