The Rhode Island Turnpike & Bridge Authority (RITBA) has issued its schedule of travel advisories for December 22-28, 2024.

On December 23, drivers can expect a westbound left lane closure on the Newport Claiborne Pell Bridge from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Good news for those using the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge, Route 138 Connector, Mount Hope Bridge, or Sakonnet River Bridge – no lane closures are planned during this time.

Keep in mind that these plans might change. RITBA suggests staying up-to-date with any potential updates.
