Future of Crook Point Bridge uncertain as ownership talks with state continue

The Crook Point Bridge remains over the Seekonk River untouched a year after Providence Mayor Brett Smiley expressed interest in acquiring the Rhode Island icon.

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation, which currently owns the so-called 'stuck up bridge', has previously called for its demolition.

Now, the Mayor's office says discussions about an ownership transfer are still 'ongoing.'
