Senior Deputy Majority Leader Nicholas J. Narducci Jr. (Ward 4) today learned that the contractor awarded the job to repair the Hawkins Street Bridge will begin to load in their work materials and this will potentially cause delays and will close off part of the area to pedestrians for safety.

“Today, I learned that the contractor awarded the job to rebuild the Hawkins Street Bridge will begin to load in their equipment in the next several days,” stated Senior Deputy Majority Leader Nicholas J. Narducci Jr. “This process is going to take time, but it’s great to see momentum. I want to thank the City and the Rhode Island Department of Transportation for keeping this project moving. Please be advised that this area will be an active construction site and as such some areas will be cordoned off for the safety of pedestrians and residents.”

A Hawkins Street Bridge foi fechada ao tráfego em outubro de 2017, depois que o Departamento de Transportes de Rhode Island encontrou deterioração significativa em várias vigas de suporte. Narducci continuou: “Hoje marca mais um passo na restauração desta ponte para que a comunidade não fique mais dividida”.

À medida que o trabalho avança, o vice-líder sênior da maioria, Narducci, fornecerá atualizações sobre o status do projeto.
