Under Sakonnet River Bridge
Narragansett Bay

The Sakonnet River Bridge crosses the Sakonnet River.  No surprise there.  It gets one's caboose from Tiverton, RI on Narragansett Bay's eastern shore  to the northern end of Aquidneck Island. 

Tiverton is one of Rhode Island's orphan towns (along with Little Compton) and some people would have given them to Massachusetts a long time ago for safe keeping.  Don't try to make sense of it with a modern map though .... think of Rhode Island's bay-o-centric economy and history.  Little Rhody didn't want to give up an inch of the coastline of it's marvelous bay and the bay state was lucky to get Fall River, Swansea, Somerset and Seekonk. 

But it's all water under the bridge now. At the other end of the bridge lies Aquidneck Island with its towns of Portsmouth, Middletown and Newport. The bridge is getting worked on which is to say they're getting ready to build a new one at which time someone will have a lot of fun knocking this one down.

More About Narragansett Bay

Narragansett Bay dominates the geography of the tiny state of Rhode Island, extending 25 miles northwards and inland from the Atlantic Ocean right into the heart of its major cities.  It is fed by the watersheds of 3 major rivers: the Blackstone, the Taunton and the Pawtuxet.  Narragansett Bay defines the region's culture, its history, sense of place and quality of life.  The cities of Providence, Newport, Fall River, Warwick and Newport all owe their start to the bay and the opportunities it provided for water power, commercial growth and transportation.  Once badly polluted, the Narragansett Bay has made a tremendous comeback in the last 3 decades as communities all around the bay have revitalized their connection to the bay and taken steps to curb human impact.  Aerial Vr plans a series of panoramas intended to capture the area's unique natural beauty, both from its surface and from the air as well as the vitality and uniqueness of its communities.
