Pawtucket awarded $1.4M for pedestrian bridge at Tidewater
PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WLNE) — The city of Pawtucket has awarded a $1.4 million dollar design contract for a pedestrian bridge at Tidewater Landing.
The Stadium at Tidewater Landing will be the home-base for the Rhode Island Football Club.
The stadium is set to open officially in 2025.
The contract was awarded to Beta Group for the design.
“As construction of Tidewater Stadium continues, we are thrilled to continue in with other areas of this project,” said Mayor Donald R. Grebien in a statement.
“While development continues, we have remained committed to prioritizing greenspace and public riverfront access. This riverwalk and pedestrian bridge will allow us to improve walkability in Pawtucket, providing an east-west connection for residents to access Tidewater Landing,” he said.
Funded by grants from the EPA, Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank, and state bonds, the city said in a statement that the project will enhance greenspace and walkability to connect residents to the riverfront.
