About 11 percent of the R.I. National Guard’s new 81,000-square-foot joint force headquarters adjacent to Camp Fogarty has been built. The two-story facility, costing $25 million to construct and being built on a 22-acre site, will serve as a command and control center, which will offer support for training, administrative and logistical requirements for both the U.S. Army and National Guard. Ground broke on the new headquarters last November. The project, expected to be completed in September, is being funded with $20 million secured by Sen. Jack F. Reed, D-R.I., in the fiscal 2017 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, and the balance being paid by Rhode Island. The facility will also include technologically advanced classrooms and training facilities, a large multipurpose room and allow National Guard personnel to train. A 450-person auditorium to be used for training, ceremonies, briefings and as an operations information center in the event of weather or other catastrophic events will also be part of the new facility. Pond & Co., of Atlanta, is the architect and Maron Construction, of Providence, is the general contractor. / COURTESY R.I. NATIONAL GUARD

The new pedestrian bridge’s steel frame is close to fully spanning the Providence River, as construction workers continue building the new bridge by utilizing the existing stone piers from the old Interstate 195 corridor as its foundation. Work on the $21.9 million project began in fall 2016 and is expected to finish by next summer. The project was supposed to wrap up by this fall, however it was delayed due to problems with steel fabrication. Daniel O’Connell’s Sons is the project’s general contractor and Inform Studios is the architect. The bridge’s length will be 450 feet, and the width will vary between 15 feet and 60 feet. It will have two decks, with the upper main deck being about 10,000 square feet in size, while the lower deck – built lower toward the river – will be about 1,500 square feet. / COURTESY R.I.
