The Crook Point Bascule Bridge is 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 also referred to as the Seekonk River Drawbridge or Crook Point Bridge—is currently unused and fixed in the upright position. Since 1976, when the bridge and tunnel were abandoned, Providence residents and visitors have been fascinated by the bridge, as a symbol of Providence's industrial past and as a sculptural element of the city's skyline.
In October 2020, the City of Providence issued an open Call for Design Ideas to solicit creative ideas for reuse of the Crook Point Bridge structure. Those interested in submitting ideas are encouraged to review the full Call for Design Ideas.
This competition is sponsored by the Providence Redevelopment Agency. The structure is owned by the Rhode Island Public Rail Corporation. Neither the Rhode Island Public Rail Corporation, nor the Rhode Island Department of Transportation are involved in this design competition. This competition is designed to generate creative ideas for the future reuse of the structure.
A jury comprised of City staff, community members, and other stakeholders will review all submissions received in response to this Call for Design Ideas. Five finalists will be selected for a more detailed second round submission and each awarded $1,000. You will be contacted via email or phone by a City of Providence staff member if you are selected as a finalist for Round Two. The jury will then review submissions from each of the five finalists and select one winner who will receive $10,000 upon award.
