Deal clears the way for new Rhode Island bridges
Published:  December 11, 2003

The state of Rhode Island has completed a US$270 million bond deal which will enable construction of five critical transport infrastructure schemes. The work includes two major bridges, as well as replacement of many other highway structures. The five projects are:

  • the new Washington Bridge

  • the new Sakonnet River Bridge connecting Tiverton and Portsmouth, serving as a gateway to Aquidneck Island

  • relocation of I-195

  • Route 403 in North Kingstown

  • freight rail improvement at the Quonset Davisville Port & Commerce Park.

    Further bond sales are expected in 2004 and 2008, providing an eventual total of US$660 million for the programme.
