Pawtucket River Bridge, Highway bridge in Pawtucket, United States.
The Pawtucket River Bridge is a highway crossing spanning the Seekonk River with six lanes carrying Interstate 95 traffic through Rhode Island. It connects the region and serves as a major route for vehicles traveling through the urban area.
The original structure was built in 1958 and underwent a major replacement completed in 2013 following a structural assessment in 2007. The renewal project modernized the infrastructure to meet current traffic demands.
The bridge received its current name in 2016 to honor James E. Doyle, the former mayor of Pawtucket who influenced local development.
The bridge has strict weight restrictions for trucks to maintain structural integrity. Drivers should be aware of these limitations as state enforcement monitors compliance regularly.
The replacement project, completed at a cost of 82 million dollars, involved building three separate spans while maintaining traffic flow.
