The Linden Street Bridge is an abandoned Central Massachusetts Railroad bridge over Linden Street (Massachusetts Route 60) in Waltham, Massachusetts. A restoration of the bridge is under construction as a part of the Mass Central Rail Trail—Wayside (MCRT—Wayside) project. It is a riveted lattice through truss bridge, built in 1894 by the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and is one of only three such bridges left in the state. The bridge is 98 feet 3 inches (29.95 m) long and 17 feet (5.2 m) wide, with an inside truss height of 21 feet 11.5 inches (6.693 m), and rests on granite abutments. The design of the bridge was based on that of the Northampton crossing of the Connecticut River by the same railroad.
