Reply to comment by IDCFFSGTFO in $122M to build a new bridge for 160 Dorchester Yacht Club members!?! by LivingMemento
It would require a bridge that allowed a sailboat to get under it. The bridge that used to be there was a temporary bridge used to trolley military supplies back-and-forth between the Dorchester Armory, and the now defunct Squantum airfield. It was destroyed soon after World War II. Squantum airfield is now known as Squantum point park so that’s another thing that would make your idea impossible, creating a new roadway through a park would be in violation of mass general laws, article 97, which prohibits construction in designated Parkland, without special legislation.

If the political will is there, it's very possible.

But why would there be political will? Youre proposing a smaller, redundant bridge, through a less convenient area, that would ruin a park. Not sure what benefit you see.
