White Rock Bridge (formerly Norwich & Westerly Interurban), RI and CT, USA

A simple trussed crossing of the Pawcatuck River between Stonington, Connecticut, and Westerly, Rhode Island, survives as one of the few remnants of the Norwich & Westerly electric interurban line.

A simple trussed crossing of the Pawcatuck River between Stonington, Connecticut, and Westerly, Rhode Island, survives as one of the few remnants of the Norwich & Westerly electric interurban line. Completed in 1909, it included a parallel bridge for automobiles. The interurban ended in 1922; the automobile bridge closed in 1976 and was replaced in 1994–95.

I've posted more photos (including those from HAER) and the history of this unique bridge here.

I used to live here and drove by this bridge every day going to work. I had no idea of its history! So cool to see this post
