🚨 The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authorit 🚨 The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) announced Wednesday that the Mount Hope Bridge will be closed to all traffic from 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 14, through 5 a.m. on Monday, August 18, for resurfacing work—weather permitting. The closure will allow crews to mill the existing road surface and apply a new ultra-thin bonded overlay from curb to curb, providing drivers with a smoother and safer ride. The current surface has reached the end of its lifespan, and the new overlay is expected to last approximately five years. “We appreciate the public’s patience as we get this work done,” said Lori Caron Silveira, RITBA’s Executive Director. “We know that everyone will welcome a smoother ride over the bridge and hope that the advance notice will help people make their plans to seek alternate routes for that weekend.” Silveira added that RITBA has been coordinating with local leaders and emergency services in both Bristol and Portsmouth to minimize disruption and prepare for any issues that arise during the closure. Emergency vehicles will not be allowed to cross during the shutdown. In case of severe weather, the resurfacing project will be rescheduled for a weekend in September. The bridge was last fully redecked in 1985, and a complete redecking is in RITBA’s long-term capital improvement plans.

Travelers in the U.S. can now keep their shoes on Travelers in the U.S. can now keep their shoes on at airport security. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Tuesday that the Transportation Security Administration is officially ending the long-standing requirement for passengers to remove their shoes at domestic airport checkpoints. The change, which takes effect immediately, is part of a broader effort by the Department of Homeland Security to modernize air travel and reduce wait times. “Ending the ‘shoes-off’ policy is the latest effort DHS is implementing to modernize and enhance traveler experience across our nation’s airports,” Noem said during a press conference at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. “We expect this change will drastically decrease passenger wait times at TSA checkpoints.” The policy was introduced in response to the 2001 attempted bombing by Richard Reid, the so-called “shoe bomber,” and became mandatory nationwide in 2006. Passengers between ages 12 and 75 were required to remove their shoes before passing through security screening. TSA says recent improvements in security screening technology allow the agency to detect threats without requiring travelers to take off their shoes. The agency emphasized that other elements of its layered security process—such as identity verification, Secure Flight vetting, and baggage screening—remain in place. While the policy change applies to standard TSA screening, some passengers may still be asked to remove their shoes if additional screening is needed. Travelers with TSA PreCheck have already enjoyed this exemption for years. The announcement follows other recent TSA updates, including a new program offering expedited access for military families and a growing nationwide compliance with REAL ID requirements. Noem said DHS is continuing to review other airport screening procedures with an eye toward improving the passenger experience while maintaining strong security measures. #tsa #newportbuzz
