Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A building near Battery Taylor on Long Island in Boston Harbor.

Long Island (Massachusetts) is located Boston Harbor. It is part of the City of Boston, and of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area, and until recently was used to support social service programs. The island is 1.75 miles (2.82 km) long and covers 225 acres (0.9 km2). Prior to October 2014, access to the island was via a road over a causeway from the Squantum peninsula of North Quincy to Moon Island, and from there, over a two-lane steel bridge, called the Long Island Viaduct, from Moon Island to Long Island. In October 2014, all access to Long Island was cut off for the indefinite future because the Long Island Bridge was considered unsafe. All those living on Long Island and being serviced by recovery programs or as guests in the homeless shelter were no longer able to go there. They were abruptly relocated elsewhere on an emergency basis. The bridge to Long Island was demolished on March 23, 2015. The future uses of the island, its buildings and the bridge are still under discussion.
