Henderson Bridge, Steel bridge across Seekonk River, Rhode Island
The Henderson Bridge stretches over the Seekonk River, connecting Providence's East Side with the neighborhoods of East Providence through three vehicle lanes and one dedicated path.
Engineer George Henderson designed this crossing in 1969 to replace the Red Bridge from 1895, marking the sixth bridge construction at this location since 1793.
The bridge reconstruction project reflects Rhode Island's commitment to modernizing infrastructure while preserving connections between long-established communities on both sides of the river.
Following the 2023 renovation, the bridge includes a protected path for cyclists and pedestrians, linking existing bicycle networks between Providence and East Providence.
The reduction from six lanes to three freed 33 acres of land for development and decreased the bridge's footprint to approximately 73,800 square feet.
