The Rhode Island Department of Transportation will The Rhode Island Department of Transportation will permanently close the old Downtown Newport exit on Route 138 East coming into Aquidneck Island from the Pell Bridge on Friday, December 8. With its closure, all traffic will use the new ramp system to access Downtown Newport. The new alignment replaces the exit with an intersection one-quarter of a mile after the old exit. Drivers should stay left after the old off-ramp and use one of the two lanes for turning left at the new JT Connell Connector Road, then left again onto JT Connell Highway toward Farewell Street and Downtown. The JT Connell Connector Road opened last year and drivers can use this today as an alternate route to Downtown. RIDOT recommends travelers use the new road to become familiar with it before the old exit closes. The new ramp system was designed to improve safety and reduce congestion, especially the backup of vehicles on the bridge from the Downtown Newport exit. RIDOT estimates the change will reduce rear-end and sideswipe crashes by 80 percent and reduce vehicle emissions. In addition to the new ramp system’s benefits to safety and efficiency, the $74 million Pell Bridge Ramps Phase 2 project will improve the connection between Newport’s North End and the Downtown area for all users. The project includes a shared-use bike path and new commuter parking lot, both expected to open next year. With a smaller footprint, the new design also will spur economic development as it frees up approximately 25 acres of land. It will be finished by the end of 2024.

Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on t Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the US Supreme Court, has died at age 93, the court announced Friday morning. O’Connor died due to “complications related to advanced dementia,” the court said. Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement that O'Connor "blazed an historic trail as our nation's first female justice." Born on March 26, 1930, in El Paso, Texas, Sandra Day O'Connor embarked on a journey that would forever change the landscape of the United States legal system. Graduating third in her class from Stanford Law School in 1952, she faced the challenges of gender discrimination in a profession dominated by men. Undeterred, she persevered and, in 1981, made history when she became the first woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court by President Ronald Reagan. During her illustrious tenure on the Supreme Court from 1981 to 2006, Justice O'Connor became known… (link in bio) #sandradayoconnor #scotus #newportbuzz #supremecourt

With the holiday season officially upon us, the Ci With the holiday season officially upon us, the City of Newport busy preparing for the return of Santa’s nightly rides. Beginning Tuesday, Dec. 12th, Santa will be escorted by Newport’s Fire and Police Departments for his annual tour of Newport’s neighborhoods. This year, he’s planning on riding with our first responders through the streets to see the City’s children beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday December 12th, Thursday December 14th, Tuesday December 19th and finishing up on Thursday December 21st. As always, Santa’s visit is weather dependent. If there is inclement weather on any night he is scheduled, he will do his very best to complete his visit in that area of the City on the following night. As a reminder, parents are asked to make sure that your children are accompanied by an adult and that they greet Santa from the safety of the sidewalk and do not enter the roadway. Santa will not be able to stop and pose for photographs along the route because he has to return to the North Pole to prepare for Christmas. Santa is looking forward to seeing all of the City’s children, but does not want any of them getting hurt. To find out when Santa is scheduled to roll through your neighborhood, please visit www.CityofNewport.com/SantasRide or follow the Newport Fire Department’s Facebook Page. #santa #christmasinnewport #newportri #newportbuzz
