The current bridge is a box girder bridge that opened in 2012 at a cost of $120 million (USD). The previous bridge was a truss bridge that was built in 1956 and demolished in 2012 due to structural deficiencies. The truss bridge had previously served as a replacement for the Stone Bridge, about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) to the south. It became part of RI 24 during the 1960s after the completion of the Portsmouth and Tiverton Expressways. At one point, it was briefly considered for inclusion as part of the never-built Interstate 895. In October 2023, Rhode Island Department of Transportation says that they will remove the rest of the bridge and they currently begin planning and design for the project in 2026.

The Benjamin Barker House was a historic house on Main Road in Tiverton, Rhode Island. Built c. 1850, it was a two-story wood-frame structure with an impressive Greek Temple front, with full-height fluted Ionic columns supporting a full triangular pediment. The pediment (as did the gable at the opposite end of the house) had an astylistic triple window in it.
