Amtrak - Blackstone River Bridge
Description
Erected in 1897, the five-span, 376-foot Blackstone River Railroad Bridge carries both main line tracks of the Amtrak Northeast Corridor over the Blackstone River and Branch Street. This riveted steel-plate girder deck bridge is a significant engineering structure as it is a large and relatively early example of this type of bridge and is also the longest railroad bridge of this type in Rhode Island.
