- In October 2014, all access to Long Island was cut off for the indefinite future by then Mayor of Boston, Marty Walsh based on the warning of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation that the bridge was unsafe. All those living on Long Island and being serviced by recovery programs or who were guests in the homeless shelter were no longer able to get there. They were abruptly relocated elsewhere on an emergency basis yhe bridge to Long Island was demolished on March 23, 2015. The future uses of the island and its buildings are still under discussion.

If you love what you see and wanna support !
I’m honestly shocked you didn’t come across anyone living there. Seems like the perfect place to squat - even has electricity!
Idk why but the alarm sounding in the beginning gave me major chills. Imagine that alarm going off day in and day out with no one living there. I imagine that's what the post-apocalyptic world would sound like: just a bunch of alarms sounding with no one to turn them off. Creepy. 😶
Ok I get it that the bridge was unsafe. I have no idea what it would cost to repair or replace it, but they shut the whole thing down? Wouldn't a ferry back and forth a few times a day maybe have been able to allow people to still live there? I don't know the answer, but I definitely think shutting everything down was a bad idea.
After knowing that this was home for a lot of homeless people where they used to work on farms and trying to put their lives on track, I’m already feeling sad and dishearten. God bless everyone💜
There's nothing traumatic dramatic or even scary in this entire video
For some reason,the fact that there is electricity makes everything sooo much creepier,and the alarms,and music,goosebumps from hell!!
Josh,forget the ghost thing . You need to go back in daylight and do the explore. Still too much to look at
This island had so much potential. I really hope it opens up again. Somehow... It feels like a much needed place.
Just another example of Government and/or State level waste of good resources to help others or put the island to good use, instead of leaving it to rot. Very irresponsible. Sad to see the homeless have to be the one's to needlessly suffer, after having some kind of purpose and stability in their lives. I don't get, the whole "bridge thing"? Kinda sketchy. The island would be a cool campground for a weekend or more,though.
Something about seeing a long hallway with a light on at the end to find a wheelchair in the middle of the stair cases creeped me out
Yeah this is definitely the best location you've been too. Could probably do multiple videos here tbh. I wanna see more.
“THEY GOT A MICROWAVE! We can actually bring bowls and make ramen noodles up in here!!!”
My grandmother used to go to the island on Christmas eve to sing with her choir back when it was a hospital. Then my dad, former BPD, brought homeless people here at the request of the city/courts. I myself volunteered here in high school before it closed down. It's wild to see it look this way when I remember it when it was in operation.
Saw you guys featured in my local news yesterday! Actually the city of Boston is planning to reopen and redevelop this island and build back the bridge to here. The homeless and drug abuse crisis is getting worse over the years and the city wants to move them back here. Easier said than done. Gonna take years to rebuild everything while the crisis can't wait that long. Which saddens me even more.
It's very risky kayaking in the dark around coastal areas like that!
The actual author of Shutter Island wrote the story inspired by this Long Island in the Boston Harbor from memories of visiting it with his father. While the film was made at a separate hospital facility, the idea of the asylum was based on this place.
I live in Boston and I stayed on that island and remember when when the bus would go over the bridge we would have to drive 10 miles an hour and no other vehicle could go over the bridge at the same time. I left the island 2 weeks before the bridge got closed down. We would all wonder is this the last time we are going to go over the bridge, is it going to collapse and will I ever see my family again. Love u guys!!!! 💓
Dude I so need to come see this one. I wanna fly over
Great video. I worked out there until they closed the bridge in October of 2014. My understanding was that the state and federal government declared the bridge unsafe, so the mayor ordered it shut down. In the 4 years I had worked there, there was constant work on that bridge. I know of people undoing their seatbelts when they crossed it for fear of something giving way and them dropping into the harbor. When the order was given to shut it down, everybody on the island had 4 hours to get off. I normally would have been working that night , but had switched days so a coworker could get married. People did amazing work to get as many of those people placed in programs or shelters, though the conditions were not always ideal. I had to go back several times by ferry to get valuables, records and client belongings from the program that I worked at.
