RITBA lifts some restrictions on bridges
Automobiles, pickup trucks, flatbed trailers, commercial buses and heavy-laden tractor/trailers permitted to cross
The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) has lifted restrictions on the Mount Hope, Newport Pell and Jamestown Verrazzano bridges for all but high-profile vehicles.
Automobiles, pickup trucks, flatbed trailers, commercial buses and heavy-laden tractor/trailers may cross these bridges.
In addition, any vehicle that, in the opinion of law-enforcement personnel, may not safely cross the bridge will be prohibited from traveling these bridges. Motorists who are denied passage will be assisted with safely turning around.
Members of the public can check bridge conditions and closures by visiting ritba.org, by calling RITBA at 401-423-0803, or checking out Twitter at @riezpass.
