Demolition work on Washington Bridge to resume this week b

Demolition will resume Tuesday on the westbound side of the Washington Bridge.

 

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) hosted a virtual community meeting Friday night, presenting progress on the demolition work and what people can expect in the weeks ahead.

 

The meeting was about nine minutes long and RIDOT tried to address concerns they’d heard from neighbors — including noise, dust, and traffic impacts.

 

Project managers did not take any questions, instead, they offered residents the option to write in questions to their project website.

 

“It is an understatement to say that l am disappointed in how the community meeting was managed last night,” McKee said in a statement Saturday.

 

RIDOT said questions can be submitted until Oct. 18, and they will respond by Nov. 1 on the project website.
