EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — “It sounds like a warzone.”

 

That’s how Providence residents Kelly and Andrew White described the ongoing demolition work happening on the old Washington Bridge, which is less than a mile away from their home.

 

“It has kept us up late,” Andrew said. “There’s lots of banging … and a lot of loud noises you wouldn’t expect to hear when you’re trying to sleep.”

 

“I think that the sound is one thing, but the shaking of the whole house — like you’re sleeping and your whole bed is shaking — that’s actually more unnerving,” Kelly added.

 

The heaviest demolition work happens between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday in order to minimize the traffic impacts.
