At the four mile mark of Route 24 the highway crosses the Sakonnet River connecting Portsmouth with Tiverton. On the north side of the bridge is a bike path. The path is about seven tenths of a mile and offers two spots to step aside to view the river below. To the north you get a sweeping view of the upper reaches of the Sakonnet River where it meets Mount Hope Bay. Across the four lanes of highway you get a view of a causeway where the Stone Bridge once stood. The bike path was built with intentions of having a future bike path from Fall River to Newport. At night the bridge is lit up and offers different colors for holidays and seasons.
