Seekonk River Rail Road Bridge and Tunnel
The tunnel was first envisioned in 1903 as a more direct connection to the old Union Station, in the center of Providence. Construction on the tunnel started in May 1906. The tunnel was opened on November 15, 1908. The ownership of the tunnel was transferred to the state of Rhode Island in 1981. The last train passed through shortly after that.
