Gov. Dan McKee on Monday released a November 2024 inspection report that found the highway on the eastbound side of the Washington Bridge is still safe after a year of carrying vehicles in both directions over the Seekonk River.

R.I. Governor Dan McKee said the inspection report identified “no significant changes” since the expansion of eastbound bridge to six highway lanes in April.

McKee took aim at 'out-of-the-state people who have satellites' quoted in recent media reports suggesting the bridge is unsafe.

A fall inspection of the open eastbound Washington Bridge shows the structure is in "fair" condition after nearly a year of carrying both sides of traffic due to the westbound bridge closure.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WJAR) — The southern span of the Washington Bridge, currently carrying three lanes of travel in each direction, is in "fair" condition, according to a fall 2024 inspection report obtained by NBC 10 News.

Gov. McKee explains where the state is currently in building a new westbound portion of the Washington Bridge.

Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee and Rhode Island Department of Transportation Director Peter Alviti gave an update on inspections of the Washington Bridge.

State officials said Monday the eastbound Washington Bridge has not experienced any significant deterioration despite carrying twice the normal traffic since it was pressed into an expanded role last year.

Rhode Island officials say the latest inspection of the 195 Washington Bridge confirms its temporary six-lane configuration is safe for traffic in both directions. Target 12 Investigator Alexandra Leslie has the latest.
