Governor Dan McKee today joined U.S. Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse, Congressmen James Langevin and David Cicilline and Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) Director Peter Alviti, Jr. to kick off the start of RIDOT’s 2021 construction season. The event was held under the Providence Viaduct, a sprawling structurally deficient bridge in our state’s capital city.
The $265 million Providence Viaduct Northbound project is one of RIDOT’s largest construction projects. It will replace a 1,300-foot bridge that carries more than 220,000 vehicles a day, making it the busiest stretch of highway in Rhode Island. It also will rebuild 10 bridges and correct inefficiencies, congestion and safety issues along this part of I-95 thanks largely to a $60.3 million INFRA grant secured by Rhode Island’s Congressional delegation.
RIDOT kicks off 2021 construction season of $1 4 billion in projects
