Stone Bridge, Bascule bridge in Rhode Island, US.
The Stone Bridge features a mechanical counterweight system that raises and lowers its main deck to accommodate maritime traffic along the waterway.
The bridge began operations in 1907 as part of the transportation infrastructure connecting communities across the Seekonk River in Rhode Island.
The Stone Bridge represents early twentieth-century American engineering practices and demonstrates the integration of maritime and land transportation needs.
The bridge continues to serve both vehicular and pedestrian traffic while allowing larger vessels to pass through when the span is raised.
The bridge contains stone construction elements combined with movable steel mechanisms, demonstrating the fusion of traditional materials with industrial engineering.
