The Boston-based structural engineers J. R. Worcester and Company designed the bridge's reinforced concrete structure. Contractor G. Woodbury Parker of Hudson built the bridge. Frank Taylor claimed the Taylor Memorial Bridge's design was inspired by a single-arch bridge he saw while bicycling in the mountains of Wales as a young man. Apparently, Frank Taylor was able to reuse the of wooden formwork from the bridge's construction to build a six-room cottage and two-car garage at his property on Houghton Street.
