Broadway is confusing: it starts on the south end of the Broadway Bridges, in the tangle of Division Street, Beakes Street, Summit Street, and a few others. At the north end of the bridges, it curves left to become Plymouth Road - but also intersects with Plymouth at a right angle, before straightening out along its original line - if you stand on the Bridges looking north, you'll be looking straight up this continuation.
(Google Maps will make this clearer.)
We'll walk north from Division.
Broadway started a project for traffic calming in May 2000, and the project was completed after three years in September 2003.
