USA Zakim Bridge, Boston
One of the most popular photo destinations in Boston, the "Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge" is the I93 highway going out of Boston. The park underneath is open to the public and provides a plethora of wonderful views of the bridge and some neat city views.

A fairly mundane view during the day, this spot completely transforms at night and provides stunning views of this picturesque bridge.
Start at the end of Beverly Street and make your way around the bridge park, across the locks and into Paul Revere Park to the far other end and across the "North Bank" pedestrian bridge to get multiple iconic shots. Bring your super-wide angle lens as well as a 24-70mm to zoom in a little on some views.

Travel Information
Parking on the Boston side is typically overpriced and sparse and involves a walk. I recommend parking on the Charlestown side (the parking lots for the USS Constitution) and walking into Paul Revere Park.
