Washington Bridge (Providence, Rhode Island)

The Washington Bridge is a series of three bridges carrying Interstate 195, US Route 6, and US Route 44 over the Seekonk River connecting India Point in Providence to Watchemoket Square in East Providence, Rhode Island. The historic portion of the bridge dating to 1930 serves as the pedestrian crossing, and bike link to the East Bay Bike Path. The pedestrian span is also a part of the Washington-Rochambeau National Historic Trail.
==History==
In June 1781, General Washington and Count de Rochambeau's army marched from Newport and crossed the Seekonk River near the current bridge for siege against British forces on Manhattan Island. Bridges at this location date back to 1793, when John Brown's Providence South Bridge Company built a covered drawbridge. This bridge served as part of a turnpike that followed Taunton Avenue from Watchemoket Square to Taunton, Massachusetts. The same year, Brown's brother Moses built the Central Bridge (red bridge) to the north, connecting the Providence and East Providence ends of Waterman Avenue. Replacements were built in 1807 and 1815 after each existing bridge was destroyed by weather. A swing bridge was then built in 1885, and carried a street car line.
