Pawtucket River Bridge |
|
| Amount Requested: $10 million |
|
| The Pawtucket River Bridge carries traffic on I-95 North and South over the Pawtucket River between Exit 27 (George Street) and Exit 28 (School Street). It was originally built in 1958 to carry 60,000 vehicles per day, but presently carries approximately 162,000 vehicles per day. This project, the I-95 Pawtucket River Bridge (Bridge #550) Replacement, will replace this major bridge on the National Highway System, and it will remove a deficient bridge from the RI State Highway and Bridge System. This project will help to create jobs in the state. |
