Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newport is a premier destination, but getting to the city has not always been easy. For three centuries, ferries crossed Narragansett Bay's East Passage. That all changed on June 28, 1969, the day the Newport Bridge opened, and it closed the last remaining gap between Aquidneck and Conanicut Islands. Proponents of the bridge persevered political squabbles and delays for twenty-five years following World War II to make it a reality. The longest suspension bridge in the region incorporated several new technologies and construction techniques and changed the face of Rhode Island. Author James Ricci details the trials and tribulations that produced an iconic bridge.

Book excerpt: Opened on Wednesday 28th February 1934 by the Duke of York, the Tees (Newport) Bridge was dubbed the ‘Tees Wonder Bridge’ by the press and celebrated as the largest vertical-lift bridge of its type in the world. Constructed by Middlesbrough-based Dorman Long, the famed bridge builders responsible for global icons such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Newcastle’s Tyne Bridge, the colossal Teesside landmark has played a vital part in the history of the region for over 90 years. The Tees Newport Bridge: The Untold Story of a Steel River Landmark by Tosh Warwick features dozens of previously unpublished construction and opening ceremony photographs as the fascinating history of the Grade II listed structure is revealed. The transformative role played by the bridge, tales of triumphs and tragedies, and dozens of memories are accompanied by artwork and a range of facts, figures and plans as this remarkable example of British engineering and local legacy of Dorman Long is celebrated.
