Boston Cambridge bridge plan dominates state hearing
At the State House a major hearing on a Charles River bridge from Boston to Cambridge drew interest. Supporters led by Mayor Russell urged Cambridge and Boston to share a roughly 450 000 building cost with Boston raising up to 250 000 beyond tax limits. The proposal aims to shorten travel between Back Bay and northern streets, easing crowding and boosting commerce.
