Bridge Fire Under Investigation

(Providence, RI) -- An official cause of the fire on the Crook Point Bridge over the Seekonk River between Providence and East Providence on Tuesday night has not-yet been determined. WJAR-TV reports witnesses said they saw fireworks going off near the bridge, which has been known as the "Stuck-Up Bridge" since it was abandoned in 1976. The bridge was previously slated for demolition before the Providence Preservation Society listed it as an endangered property. The city of Providence had planned to revitalize it, but demolition now appears to be back on the table.
