The Grand Junction Railroad Bridge is a steel plate girder bridge that carries the Grand Junction Railroad over the Charles River in Boston. It connects the Boston University campus to Cambridgeport. In September 2009, Massachusetts finalized an agreement to purchase several CSX rail lines in eastern Massachusetts, including the Grand Junction tracks from the Beacon Park Yard in Allston through Cambridge. The deal was closed on June 17, 2010.
