Danforth Street Bridge

The old Danforth Street Bridge today

The old Danforth Street Bridge has been reborn. From 2003 through 2006 the Town refurbished the bridge and began landscaping the adjoining area. This work was done under a "Save America's Treasures" grant from the National Park Service and matching funds from the Town of Framingham, the Massachusetts Historic Commission, and the Friends of Saxonville.

The bridge was formally rededicated in June 2006 during the Friends of Saxonville's annual Discover Saxonville event. A gala wine and cheese reception with a live band was held on the bridge that evening to celebrate the return of this Saxonville landmark to active service.
