Boston’s award-winning bridge designer and architect Miguel Rosales has transformed the design of our city with his iconic bridge designs for the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge, the Frances Appleton Pedestrian Bridge, the newly dedicated Bill Russell Bridge, and the redesign of the Longfellow Bridge, as well as bridges in Revere and Quincy.
