Rhode Island drivers, heads up! The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) has some lane closures planned for March 9-15 that might affect your commute.
On the Newport Claiborne Pell Bridge, expect the eastbound right lane to be closed from March 10-14, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. There are also overnight closures set for March 13 and 14, with lanes alternating east and west from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
If you’re crossing the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge, the westbound right lane will be closed March 11-14, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Sakonnet River Bridge will have its southbound left lane closed on March 12, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Good news for those using the Route 138 Connector or Mount Hope Bridge – no closures are planned there this week.
