Landmarks

Part of the Sudbury Aqueduct, Echo Bridge was the second largest, masonry stone arched bridge in the nation when first built in 1875, and remains so today. The bridge's arches are constructed of granite with the central arch spanning 130 feet and rising 60 feet above the river. There are seven arches in total. The top portion of the bridge which carries the aqueduct is of brick and is capped with a cast iron railed promenade to allow pedestrians to cross from side to side, and can be accessed from Ellis Street by a substantial flight of wooden stairs. The bridge received its name from its tremendous acoustic qualities and the echo platform constructed under the main arch on the easterly side of the river.
