🚨 REMINDER 🚨 The Mount Hope Bridge will be c 🚨 REMINDER 🚨 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. 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.

One of Newport’s most coveted waterfront condomi One of Newport’s most coveted waterfront condominiums has sold in one of the city’s premier transactions of the year. The residence at 24 Brown & Howard Wharf, unit 303, closed at $3,075,000 — the third-highest condominium sale in Newport for 2025, according to data from the Multiple Listing Service. The buyers were represented by Nicole Carstensen of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty, while Stacie Mills and Mary Waddington of Vanderbilt International Properties represented the sellers. Among the largest homes within the Brown & Howard Wharf Residences, the two-bedroom property is defined by its refined architectural details and bespoke upgrades. Gleaming hardwood floors, lighted coffered ceilings, and a flexible space ideal for an office or library enhance the interiors, all framed by sweeping views of Newport Harbor. “Brown & Howard Wharf is the perfect blend of condo living with the backdrop of yachts, Newport Harbor, and spectacular sunsets,” Carstensen said. “I am thrilled to have helped my clients find a place for their friends and family to gather and enjoy all Newport has to offer.” The Brown & Howard Wharf Residences are celebrated for their prime downtown location — just steps from boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, and cultural attractions — while offering the privacy and security of a luxury waterfront address. 24 Brown & Howard Wharf, Unit 303, Newport, RI 2 Bed | 2.1 Bath | $3,075,000 Nicole Carstensen (@traveledinteriors) of @mottandchace represented the buyer
