Newport is bringing in the big guns. Heavy equipm Newport is bringing in the big guns. Heavy equipment on loan from the State is now rolling through the City as crews scramble to claw back streets buried under snow in what officials say will be a multi-day, round-the-clock operation. The first priority: reopening roads in the Yachting Village and the Lower Thames Street corridor — two of the city’s busiest and most business-critical areas — before fanning out into neighborhoods citywide. But here’s the catch: Move your car — or it will be moved for you. A mandatory parking ban remains in effect on all designated snow emergency routes, with one exception — the southbound side of Broadway. Everywhere else, towing will be strictly enforced, officials warned. “This is a 24-hour operation,” the City said in a notice, urging residents not to wait. “If you have a car parked on a parking ban street, please move it now.” 🚨 Streets Impacted by the Parking Ban: Annandale Road Bedlow Avenue Bellevue Avenue (from Kay Street to Bowery Street) Bliss Road Coggeshall Avenue East Bowery Street Farewell Street Friendship Street Gibbs Avenue Gould Street Kay Street Powell Avenue Spring Street Summer Street Thames Street Third Street Upper Broadway Van Zandt Avenue (from J.T. Connell Memorial Road to Malbone Road) Warner Street Washington Square Washington Street West Marlborough Street West Narragansett Avenue William Street City officials say clearing these arteries is critical to restoring normal traffic flow, emergency access, and business activity. Bottom line: If your car is on the list, move it — or risk a tow. #blizzard2026 #newportbuzz #newportri

MIDDLETOWN, R.I. — Middletown’s Public Works crews MIDDLETOWN, R.I. — Middletown’s Public Works crews have cleared every local road following the historic Blizzard of 2026, town officials said Thursday. Town Administrator Shawn J. Brown said crews reported for duty Sunday at 4 p.m., though the bulk of snow removal operations could not begin until 5 p.m. Monday due to conditions. “The volume of snow and sustained winds made this a complex operation,” Brown said, praising the coordination and endurance of Public Works staff. All roads are now considered passable, officials said, but work is ongoing to widen travel lanes, clear sidewalks and improve visibility at intersections. Those efforts are expected to keep Public Works crews busy through the remainder of the week. Crews are also completing cleanup at school properties to support reopening. Sidewalk clearing will prioritize key pedestrian corridors, including the Oxbow neighborhood to Stop & Shop, Maple Avenue to Shaw’s, and areas near bus stops to ensure riders have safe refuge while waiting or disembarking. Residents seeking nonemergency assistance are asked to contact the town’s Emergency Operations Center at 401-842-6555. Officials emphasized that 911 should be used only for emergencies. Brown thanked residents for their cooperation during the storm response. “We’ve remained in this together, pulling in the same direction,” he said. “Look at all that’s been accomplished for you — and Middletown.” #blizzard2026 #middletownri #newportbuzz
