At 8.2 m. is the junction with the Washington Highway which, when the Ashton viaduct over the Blackstone River (see Tour 4C), is completed, will make an important northeast to southwest route through the State. pp 386 Rhode Island, a Guide to the Smallest State, 1937

Built in 1945. the book refers to the Ashton Viaduct in the future. Since reading this I have been trying to get here to see the viaduct in person. It is as spectacular as I imagined.
