The Boston University Bridge 🚗🚊✈️⛴️ Our Little-Known Global Claim to Fame

As Bostonians, we've grown up with some of the best stories, legends, and landmarks right in our backyard. From Fenway Park to the Freedom Trail, our city oozes history and charm at every corner. But among these iconic spots, there's one I've always felt we've kept a little too secret: The Boston University (BU) Bridge.

We all know the BU Bridge isn’t just another crossing over the Charles River. Yeah, you've heard the tale – that quirky fact about the boat, train, car, and plane. It's the bridge where a boat can float beneath a train, cruising beneath a car, all while a plane soars above. An everyday sight for many of us, but a mind-bender for those not from around here.

Growing up in Boston, it was a fun game trying to spot all four modes of transportation at once. On certain clear days, when the traffic's just right and you're standing at the perfect vantage point, it almost feels orchestrated – a choreographed performance of Boston's eclectic modes of transportation.

But let's go beyond the trivia. This bridge is a testament to Boston’s ingenuity and a symbol of how Boston seamlessly marries history with innovation. Think about it: while the world was building bridges, tunnels, and roads in isolation, Boston was already thinking about multi-layered transportation. Classic Boston – always ahead of the curve.

So, the next time you're driving, cycling, or simply passing by, give a nod to the cool BU Bridge. It's not just an overpass; it's a piece of Boston's history.
