Phase Three Construction on the Newport Pell Bridge Begins Tuesday

Phase Three work on the Newport Pell Bridge is set to begin a month ahead of its expected start date on Tuesday, August 11th, with hydro-demolition and milling work beginning the week of August 17th. The project is expected to last through the end of November. This phase of the project will focus on rehabilitating the eastbound passing lane (center lane on the south side heading to Newport) of the bridge deck, as well as accelerated replacement of an area previously not scheduled for replacement until after completion of the RIDOT Newport Ramp Realignment Project.
