The Land Conservancy of North Kingstown (LCNK) will celebrate the completion of the Mill Cove footbridge and will be gifting of the bridge to the town of North Kingstown. An earthen causeway was constructed in the 1770s as part of a farm path, crossing Mill Cove and connecting the farms of Wickford with  pastures and woodlands. However, more than 20 years ago, the culvert under the causeway collapsed, severing the connection. The footbridge now completes the path, connecting two adjacent affordable housing communities and the town-owned recreational area in Wilson Park with Wickford Village, the land conservancy’s Bush Hill Preserve, and town open space.
