Providence Seekonk River Lift Bridge

These are a few photos of a beautiful old bridge in Providence.  I have been trying to figure out how to get to it, and a few weeks ago I finally made it.  The bridge doesn't operate anymore, but someone (presumably a vagrant) is building a house boat/raft underneath.  Such a carefree notion, makes me want to pick up and float away...



























Also, this is the only place I've ever been to where I loved the graffiti.  It adds to the bridge I think, constantly changing and updating it, chronicling time, and making the tired old iron completely modern.
