Information About

Jamestown-verrazano Bridge




The bridge is a Post-tensioned , double-cell Concrete Box Girder Bridge with four travel lanes separated by a concrete Jersey Barrier (the original bridge was dangerous with two undivided lanes). The total length of the bridge is 7,350 ft (2,240 m) and links the towns of North Kingstown, Rhode Island and the island town of Jamestown, Rhode Island . Despite being 15 years old, it is already listed as "structurally deficient".


HISTORY


The bridge was completed in 1992 and was built alongside the two lane bridge that had served the same route since 1940 . The Original Jamestown Bridge was demolished in April 2006.
