    Glenwood Ave Bridge is not over Mother Brook. It is upstream of the Brook on the Neponset River.

  2. The bridge section repaired in 1935 document above was the part going over Mother Brook side. There were east and west bridges previously- see 1900s below: https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:8336h326z
