While driving around Newport we came across Claiborne Pell Bridge, more commonly called the Newport Bridge, as well as the Goat Island Lighthouse, more commonly known as the Newport Lighthouse. I love both bridges and lighthouses, so this was so cool to see.
The Newport Bridge is a suspension that spans the East Passage of Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island. The bridge connects the city of Newport on Aquidneck Island and the Town of Jamestown on Conanicut Island. It is named for longtime Rhode Island U.S. Senator Claiborne Pell who lived in Newport. The Goat Island Light was built in 1842 and is known for its green light visible from across the bay at night. Unfortunately we weren’t there at night, but it would have been cool to see.
