PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Demolition crews are set to resume work Tuesday on the defunct westbound side of the Washington Bridge .
This means the road closures that were in place when the work was paused last month will go back into effect , according to the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT).
After RIDOT didn’t take any questions during a brief virtual meeting on Friday, Gov. Dan McKee said they will hold a second meeting Thursday at 6 p.m. to address any concerns from residents about the demolition.
“I think it’s important to first apologize to people who anticipated a little different outcome on Friday and they are going to get it on Thursday,” McKee added.
