Description: Bristol Ferry Lighthouse and Mt. Hope Bridge Bristol-Portsmouth Rhode Island Bristol Ferry Lighthouse and Mt. Hope Bridge Art Print is from an original watercolor painting by the Artist, William B. MacGregor Jr., who is known in the New England area as the Junkyard Artist. -------------------------------------------------------------- The Mount Hope Bridge is a two-lane suspension bridge and spans the Mount Hope Bay. The bridge connects the Rhode Island towns of Portsmouth and Bristol. The bridge’s towers are 285 Ft tall and allows a clearance of 135 feet over the water. The bridge was built in 1929 and owned by the Mount Hope Bridge Company as a private toll bridge. The initial toll was 60 cents one way and a dollar round trip. In 1931 the bridge went bankrupt and was purchased by Rudolf Haffenreffer. The state of Rhode Island purchased the bridge in 1954 and reduced the toll from 60 cents to 30 cents round trip and discontinued in 1998. In In1976, the Mount Hope Bridge has been listed with the National Register of Historic Places. Bristol Ferry Lighthouse is located in Bristol, Rhode Island and is at the base of the Mount Hope Bridge. The structure was built in 1855 along with the ½ story brick keepers house. It’s was deactivated in 1927 when the Mount Hope Bridge was built and there was an automated beacon across Ferry Road. Before the bridge was built the light was an aid for the local ferry service. The Bristol Ferry Lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 and is currently a private residence. Mt.
