Iway, Fixed bridge in Providence, United States
Description
The Iway is a bridge crossing the Providence River with eight lanes and a network arch design. Diagonal cables connect the arch to the deck, creating a modern structure that links different parts of the city.
History
The bridge opened in 2009 as part of a project to relocate a highway away from downtown. This effort allowed the city to reclaim and redesign its historic center.
Culture
Local residents celebrated the bridge's inauguration by walking across its span before it opened to vehicular traffic, marking a milestone for the community.
Practical
The bridge accommodates different types of traffic and pedestrians with adequate space. Visitors can walk or cycle across to enjoy views of the river and surrounding city.
Did you know?
The entire bridge structure was assembled off-site and then transported by barge through the bay. This unusual construction method saved time and minimized disruption to the city.
