Main Street Bridge Renovations Complete

The Main Street Bridge, a gateway to Pawtucket’s downtown, recently underwent a major renovation and is now complete.

The renovations to the bridge are part of Pawtucket’s continuing, aggressive road repaving efforts throughout the city which at the end of this paving cycle, will see over 42 miles of city streets and roads repaved. The renovations also mark a continued reinvestment along the beautiful Pawtucket riverfront.

Along with the obvious increase in safety to motorists, guardrails along both sides of the northern sidewalk were significantly upgraded to increase safety for pedestrians crossing the bridge on foot. Wider sidewalk curbing with raised, handrails not only provide more safety for foot traffic on the bridge, but are also more pleasing to the eye.

“We are very happy with the final product of the revitalized Main Street Bridge,” said Pawtucket Mayor Donald R. Grebien. “The Main Street Bridge is a primary artery into our historic downtown and provides some of the most picturesque views of our riverfront, City Hall and historic Slater Mill,” said Grebien. “This infrastructure improvement project was a key part of our commitment to reinvesting in Pawtucket’s infrastructure and I am pleased to be able to help deliver on that promise to the residents of our great city,” continued the Mayor.
