"Rhode Island Officials Unveil New Traffic Plan for Washington Bridge"
Gov. Dan McKee and RIDOT will announce a new traffic pattern for the indefinitely closed westbound side of the Washington Bridge to alleviate daily traffic congestion, impacting businesses in East Providence and Providence since the closure in December. The closure, originally planned for three months, was prompted by an engineer's discovery of a severe problem in July. RIDOT had introduced a temporary traffic pattern in February and will revise it as needed. The announcement will be made at a briefing at 1:30 p.m. and livestreamed on TurnTo10.com.
