Fox Point Hurricane Barrier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fox Point Hurricane Barrier is a 3000 foot long concrete wall in the Fox Point neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island. The wall has three gates to allow ships and water through. It was built in 1960-1966 to protect downtown Providence from damaging storm surge associated with hurricanes and other storms, as well as to maintain the flow of the Providence River.
