RITBA warns of work on Jamestown-Verrazzano Bridge

The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) is asking drivers to be cautious while going over the the Jamestown-Verrazzano Bridge.

 

RITBA announced Wednesday evening that contractors are in the process of replacing the seven original bridge joints on the westbound span.

 

Traffic will be limited to one lane as contractors are working on the joints. Each of the seven joints will be covered by raised plates and both lanes will be open while work isn’t being done.

 

RIBTA warned that the plates are not flush with the bridge and “cause a bump.”
