From Charles/MGH Red Line Station: The walking distance from the subway station to the Esplanade concert area is just under 1/2 mile, or 2,480 feet. The subway station is accessible and meets State and Federal access standards. The pathway to the concert area however has some issues. The path from the station to the footbridge over Storrow Drive has ramps with slopes that exceed the standards in both length and grade of slope. For some individuals the climb up the bridge could be very difficult. The bridge is 717 feet from Charles Circle to the Esplanade end, 316 feet of which is uphill with grades as much as 10%. There is one level area at the second turn of the ramps on each side. The first turn going up the bridge is not level, the second turn does provide a level space. The distance from the beginning of the bridge to the first level area is 106 feet.
