The $35.8 million Tower Hill Road project includes replacement of the 55-year-old Tower Hill Road Bridge, carrying Tower Hill Road over Route 138 in North Kingstown, and resurfacing of 6.5 miles of Tower Hill Rd (US-1) from the Route 4 split in North Kingstown to the Oliver Stedman Government Center in South Kingstown.
Throughout the bridge’s replacement, we will utilize Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) methods and (SPMTs) Self-Propelled Modular Transporters. Additional work includes replacing the existing wheelchair ramps at the Bridgetown Road/Mooresfield Road intersection with ADA compliant ones, and improving stormwater treatment.
