The Old Northern Avenue Bridge spans Boston's Fort Point Channel, connecting the city's downtown with the redeveloping industrial waterfront of South Boston. The iron swing bridge was innovative technology for its time, and its simple construction complemented the character of its industrial neighborhood. Today, the Old Northern Avenue Bridge is the only moveable bridge of the original nine across the Fort Point Channel that remains operable, although it was closed to vehicular traffic in 1997. It was originally built in 1908.

Preservation of the bridge has been the subject of heated debate, but many continue to believe that the bridge is an important marker of the Fort Point Channel District's industrial history and that it will only become more significant as the neighborhood continues to evolve.
