Eliot Bridge Project

November was another busy month on the river with the Conservancy Volunteers. Northeastern Civil Engineering students began phase two of the Eliot Bridge embankment restoration on the upstream side in Allston. Other volunteer groups included Leaps in Literacy and MIT Sigma Nu as well as service learning projects with Beacon Academy, Buckingham Browne and Nichols and Newton Athletes Serving the Community. Groups and companies are already booking dates as far out as June, so to get the date you want, we urge you to begin planning your event with the CRC as soon as possible. Contact Evan Moss at edm@thecharles.org.
