Notes
  • Significance: The India Point Railroad Bridge is one of 25 surviving swing bridges in southern New England, and one of three in Rhode Island. It is an example of early-twentieth-century bridge truss design in a moveable-span bridge, a type of public works improvement common in the late nineteenth century when rivers were crossed by numerous highway and railroad bridges. It was fabricated by the Boston Bridge Works, the dominant New England bridge building company at the turn of the century, which used an image of this bridge in their advertising as a typical example of their capabilities.
