罗得岛州东湾自行车道两座桥梁完成更换重新开放 曾因老化于2019年关闭
据GlobeNewswire发布的通稿，罗得岛州东湾自行车道（East Bay Bike Path）上的两座桥梁已完成更换并重新开放。这条全长14.5英里的铺装步道从Providence延伸至布里斯托尔，是当地居民通勤与休闲的重要通道。
重开的两座桥分别位于巴灵顿（Barrington）与沃伦（Warren）两镇，最初建于19世纪80年代，原为铁路桥，20世纪80年代改为自行车道桥梁。因结构老化，罗得岛州交通厅（RIDOT）于2019年关闭了这两座桥；重建期间，当局在邻近的车行桥旁修建了临时绕行路段与木栈道，以维持步道通行。
桥梁供应企业Acrow在10月14日的通稿中表示，其模块化钢桥已完成安装并投入使用，用于恢复这条区域重要休闲走廊的安全与连通，并提高其长期耐久性。

Two Bridges on Rhode Island's East Bay Bike Path Reopen After Replacement; Structures Had Been Closed Since 2019
Two bridges along Rhode Island's East Bay Bike Path have been replaced and reopened, according to a GlobeNewswire release issued October 14. The 14.5-mile paved trail runs from Providence to Bristol and serves cyclists, pedestrians, commuters and visitors.
The two bridges, located in the towns of Barrington and Warren, were originally built in the 1880s as railroad bridges and converted for bicycle use in the 1980s. The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) closed both structures in 2019 due to deterioration. During reconstruction, temporary detours, including bike path segments and boardwalks along adjacent vehicular bridges, were built to maintain access.
Bridge supplier Acrow said its modular steel bridges have been completed and opened, restoring safety and connectivity on one of the region's most heavily used recreational corridors and improving long-term resilience.
