Ipswich River Pedestrian Crossing

Highlight • Bridge

The pedestrian crossing lets you enjoy the Ipswich River up close. You can see the water flowing by, which is vital for the town's history and nature. The river has been important for farming, mills, and even fishing for hundreds of years. You can also see the Choate Bridge, built in 1764, making it one of the oldest stone arch bridges in North America. It's truly amazing that it's still used by cars and people today!
