Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge

The Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge is a concrete box girder highway bridge which spans the West Passage of Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, United States.It is part of Rhode Island Route 138 and is on the route to Newport, Rhode Island for traffic heading northbound from Interstate 95.The bridge is named for Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano.Construction began in 1985 and was completed in 1992, originally consisting of two undivided lanes and built alongside the Jamestown Bridge which had served the same route since 1940.[1] The bridge was listed as structurally deficient in 2007, despite being only 15 years old at the time, due to small cracks found in some of the box girder segments.
