West River Street Bridge, Providence

We continue to build the substructure (abutments and walls) for the new West River Street Bridge over the West River, between Corliss Street and Branch Avenue in Providence. We are approaching completion of the rebar and formwork for these new bridge components, and are scheduled to continue their construction by placing concrete. In addition to the concrete, we are expecting steel delivery and installation within the upcoming weeks. West River Street remains open to pedestrians, but closed to vehicular traffic with a signed detour and temporary traffic signal in place to help guide motorists through the area.
