Partner Event: Design Competition—Crook Point Bascule Bridge Reuse

We are excited to pass along a Call for Design Ideas for the Crook Point Bascule Bridge—a steel railway drawbridge that once connected Providence’s Fox Point neighborhood to the City of East Providence across the Seekonk River. The bridge–which is currently unused and has remained fixed in an upright position since 1976–serves as a symbol of Providence’s industrial past and a sculptural element of the city’s skyline. The Providence Redevelopment Agency and City of Providence now seek exciting design ideas for reuse of the Crook Point Bridge structure.

To learn more about this opportunity, please visit the project website at www.providenceri.gov/planning/crook-point-bridge/

Round One submissions are due electronically by Sunday, November 29th, 2020 at 11:59 PM ET. This Call for Design Ideas is open to persons or teams with all levels of experience, including students. Questions regarding this opportunity may be directed to Alexis Kievning via email at akievning@providenceri.gov.
