Scope and Content: Records consist of one (1) final copy of the Historic Resources American Engineering Documentation for Atwells Avenue Bridge No. 975 by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation’s consultant, PAL, Inc. The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is developing design plans for the replacement of the superstructure of the Atwells Avenue Bridge (Bridge No. 975) over the Woonasquatucket River, Providence, Rhode Island. The historic trusses will be removed, cleaned, painted the original paint color (based on historic paint analysis) and re-installed on a new steel superstructure as non-load bearing members. The bridge is seriously deteriorated and was damaged by flooding in March 2010. PAL completed this HAER documentation to the specifications of the National Park Service on behalf of the FHWA and the RIDOT to mitigate the adverse effects of the bridge superstructure replacement. Robert Brewster of Warren Jagger Photography, Inc., Providence completed the archival photography of the structure on November 3, 2010.
