プロビデンス郡の橋と貯水池

Scenic Bridges and Reservoirs

Rhode Island’s engineering history is showcased through this collection of vital infrastructure and historic crossings. The list includes the Scituate Reservoir, the state’s largest inland water body, and the Gainer Memorial Dam which regulates it. Bridge highlights feature the 1908 Crook Point Bascule Bridge—a defunct rolling lift structure—and the Swamp Meadow Bridge, the state’s only covered bridge on a public road. These sites illustrate the evolution of the region's transportation and water management systems from the early 20th century to the present.
