Point Street Bridge, Steel bridge over Providence River in Providence, Rhode Island
The Point Street Bridge extends 528 feet across the Providence River, connecting the Jewelry District to Wickenden Street at College Hill base.
Boston Bridge Works constructed this metal Warren through truss bridge in 1927, replacing an iron bowstring structure from 1872 at the same location.
The bridge structure represents early 20th-century engineering methods with its rivet-connected design and multiple approach spans for urban transportation needs.
The bridge measures 39 feet in width and includes bicycle lanes added in 2013 to enhance safety for cyclists crossing between neighborhoods.
The structure operated as a swing bridge until 1959, when metal expansion during hot days required fire trucks to spray water for proper closure.
