The Bridge

The Bridge — Official Newspaper of the PVA

The Spring 2021 issue of The Bridge is now available. Stop by one of the Village businesses to pick up your free copy.

The official publication of the Pawtuxet Village Association, The Bridge, serves to communicate local news and information and to record new and old history of Pawtuxet Village and its residents. We publish The Bridge two times a year — spring and winter/holiday issues — and distribute it to all the advertiser locations, public libraries, Warwick and Cranston city halls, and by subscription. Contact us to have a copy of the paper mailed to you, a family member, or friend who no longer lives in the Village but would enjoy the local news, history, and photos.

The Bridge is run by a volunteer editorial board that manages the publication (content, photography, and distribution) under the direction of the PVA Board of Directors. The content of the paper is exclusively about Village life. Our profiles of historic homes and history, environmental treasures, local businesses, and residents will amuse you and keep you informed of Village events and issues. We welcome new writers, photographers, and advertisers. To submit your material or ideas, please see Contributor Guidelines below.
