Sagamore Bridge

Not I have to say that the Bourne Bridge is my go-​to bridge when crossing the canal, but the Sagamore Bridge is our bridge of choice when making the trip to visit family in Boston.
This bridge is less chaotic since they have removed the rotary. The only thing that frustrates me about this bridge is the fact that people crossing it get scared since it is narrow and slow down creating a bottle neck effect.
That being said, I love the canal bridges and the Sagamore is a staple of my childhood.

LOVE the Sagamore. Such a pretty view of the Cape Cod Canal and great access to Plymouth, Bourne, as well as Cape Cod. The Bourne Bridge is also good, but I’ve ALWAYS gone the Sagamore way, and will continue to. The bridge architecture is really pretty as well and is DEFINITELY a landmark. Also, one of the other reviews states the bridge is covered, which it has been but today, 9÷6÷15 was not covered.

Quite impressive. I can’t build something like this so that’s a given 5 stars on Unilocal.
Wonderful view which would be great to see on foot or bike.
Was interesting to take note of the fact that it’s covered, presumably to keep snow off of it.
The snow roof doesn’t appear to be wide enough to over the bike and foot lanes. I wonder if that’s ever an issue?

I drive this bridge twice a day, to work and back. Let’s be real — yes, it’s an architectural marvel with a mind blowing view of the Canal (for your passengers only, eyes on the road!) and it gets you on and off Route 6 in a heartbeat. But if you drive a truck or an SUV, for god’s sake, stay in the right hand lane on either side because the LANES AREN’T WIDE ENOUGH FOR YOUR BEHEMOTH VEHICLE! Seriously, in 1934’ish when this was built, who could have known that tourists and Masshole drivers would be taking up a lane & ½ driving at 60mph?
There’s a near miss here nearly every day, with people driving over the lines — I see the whites of way too many driver’s eyes coming straight at me at 65mph over the center line! Do yourself and drivers around you a true favor and keep in your lane, even if it means hugging the side curb for 30 seconds!
I like the convenience, I love the specter of the bridge span coming up ahead of me when I drive down Rt 3, especially in the treacherous, misty morning fog! But keep your eyes on the road, keep your place on your lane, and watch the slippery, poorly banked spots on the east bound (down the Cape) side, just over the bridge — scary in winter!

While I can appreciate that there’s a striking architectural elegance to this thing, my real-​time experiences with it are either driving over it in one of two extremely narrow lanes, eyes glued to the road in front of me, or on foot.
While biking down to P-​Town one must dismount and walk the bridge, crossing up on the elevated sidewalk on the northwest-​bound side. The sidewalk is about two or three feet high, but that’s it… just an elevated sidewalk with no additional guardrail.
So it’s kind of scary. What made it even more scary one time was when maybe three years ago they were doing repairs, so when we got there with our bikes the sidewalk was blocked off. Faced with the extra ten miles (and the uncertainty) of riding down to the Bourne Bridge instead we opted to go through the construction site. Terrifying. The state cop yelling at over his loudspeaker as his car inched toward Boston didn’t help either.
But if you’re not walking a bike and wearing SPDs it’s worth a trip up there to gaze out over the canal.

I usually come home via the Sagamore each time I visit the Cape. Just like the Bourne, it offers such nice views of the Cape Cod Canal below it. The bridge is narrow, but I find it to be less intimidating than the Bourne… maybe it’s the updates they’ve done on roadwork to either side over the years? Regardless, the Sagamore Bridge is a beauty & sure to be crossed & enjoyed for many more years to come.

The Sagamore Bridge. the beautiful pathway to the cape! Once you get there you realize it’s only another 1– ½ hours until the fun begins! It’s a gorgeous view of the Cape Cod Canal and just another wonderful addition to beautiful Massachusetts!!!

I never appreciated how beautiful the Sagamore Bridge is until I had actually moved off-​Cape. It’s really quite striking, and is a great way to begin your trip to Cape Cod.
Being one of only two way to actually get on the Cape, I much prefer it to the Bourne Bridge. Why, you ask? I’m not quite sure, but I think it has something to do with the view, the direct landing onto Rt.6, and the fact that it actually means I am home.
They did an overhaul recently, which makes it safer and even prettier. The only problem with this bridge is that it’s easy to get distracted by the amazing views as you go over!

A gorgeous gateway to Cape Cod, the Sagamore Bridge is lined with beautiful views and ease of passage to a weekend gateway.
