Crook Point Bascule Bridge

Providence, RI

The abandoned Crook Point railroad bridge has remained permanently raised over the Seekonk River since rail service ended in 1976. Its rusting draw span points sharply into the sky and has become one of Providence's most recognizable pieces of industrial decay. View it from lawful public areas; the bridge itself is not an exploration site.
