The Project

This project involves the complete replacement of the Mohegan Bridge, which carries Route 102 (Bronco Highway) over the Branch River in Burrillville.  The structurally deficient bridge carries about 15,200 vehicles per day and is an important connector for residents and commerce in northwest Rhode Island. It also provides a direct link to Burrillville Middle School.

We began work on the bridge in spring 2021, detouring Route 102 northbound traffic. In January 2022, we closed the bridge entirely to allow construction to move ahead efficiently and safely with work on the northbound half of the bridge finishing in late spring/early summer 2022 before work begins on the southbound half of the bridge.

Our project also includes resurfacing Route 102 at the bridge and its approaches, including its intersection with Route 7. That work will be completed in the spring. The project also includes new guardrail, signing, striping and drainage systems.
