Reason 45 for why Somerville is GREAT.

On the southeast border of Winter Hill, where Highland Ave meets Medford St, a nostalgic SomerVillain adds an entry to our cataloging of all things Winter Hill with reason #45 why Somerville is great:

While we’re talking about memories: the Lowell Street bridge, located between Highland Ave. and Medford St., has been under construction for about 8 years and is finally finished. But before it went under construction, it was the wildest bridge around. If you we’re driving, and hit the bridge at say, 25 mph, you would get a little airborne. Being around 14 at the time, we’d get our moms to hit the bridge fast so that we’d get airborne. Any city that has a bridge that shoots your car into the air, even if it does decide to rebuild it, is cool.

This is not the Lowell Street bridge. The Lowell Street bridge carries Lowell Street over the railroad tracks, and is about 3/4 mile west of this location.
