Description | The Washington Bridge project involved extensive bridge upgrades as part of the RhodeWorks plan approved in 2016. The project faced significant issues leading to an emergency closure of the westbound bridge in December 2023. The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) relies heavily on private contractors for project oversight and quality checks, with limited in-house capacity for spot-checking. The project has been under scrutiny due to increased travel times and traffic congestion caused by the bridge's problems. |
