Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge, Road bridge in North Kingstown, United States
The Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge spans the West Passage of Narragansett Bay with four lanes across its 7,350-foot concrete structure at 135 feet above water.
Built between 1985 and 1992, this bridge replaced the former Jamestown Bridge from 1940, which was later demolished in April 2006 after structural issues.
The bridge carries the name of Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, who contributed to early American maritime exploration and navigation developments.
The bridge connects North Kingstown to Jamestown along Route 138, providing essential access for travelers heading toward Newport from Interstate 95.
The bridge structure includes double-cell concrete box girders with safety walkways on both sides, though pedestrian access remains restricted.
