Notes
  • Significance: White Rock Bridge is significant as an example of early 20th-century truss engineering and as an increasingly rare artifact associated with electric street railways. Built for the Norwich and Westerly Railway Company, which operated a 22-mile interurban line between Norwich, Conn., and Westerley, R.I., the bridge was unusual in that it provided separate structures for highway and trolley traffic, with a common center truss. The electric railway ceased operation in 1922; the highway part was in use until 1976.
  • Survey number: HAER RI-39
