last i remember on this subject when we were talking about it in risaa, which was about 1.5 years ago, was that the bridge had to come down due to homeland security (i think) said it was a threat/hazzard being so close to the current bridges. that, on top of the existing condition made it an unsafe pier. their were plans to rebuild it in the exact same spot, but the nimby's came up. there was talk of moving it somewhere else, but again, the nimby's keep up the fight. i know that it came up in some recent town meeting in jamestown, but i am not sure what was said or done. i know risaa has a jamestown bridge committee.
personally, i dont see much being done with ri just about bankrupt. maybe it'll get torn down in its existing status, but i do not see anything new going up in the near future. it'll be a long fight.
