The NTSB is urging the Rhode Island Turnpike and B The NTSB is urging the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority to conduct a vulnerability assessment on the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge. NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy made the recommendation Thursday, nearly a year after the catastrophic collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. That incident occurred when a cargo ship lost power and crashed into a support column, causing the entire 1.6-mile span to collapse, killing six construction workers. The Newport Bridge is one of 68 bridges across 19 states that the NTSB has recommended for assessment due to their location over waterways frequented by large vessels. “We have been sounding the alarm on this since the tragedy occurred,” Homendy said. “We need action — public safety depends on it.” Built in 1969, the Newport Bridge is currently classified as being at “typical” risk of collapse, according to the NTSB. Homendy highlighted that the Maryland Transportation Authority had not conducted a vulnerability assessment of the Francis Scott Key Bridge prior to its collapse. An NTSB analysis after the incident showed the risk of collapse was nearly 30 times higher than the national threshold. Homendy warned that the 30 bridge owners identified in the report might be unaware of their structures’ potential risk. She urged immediate assessments to determine if safety measures are necessary. In response, RITBA acknowledged the report and said it has been proactive since the Baltimore tragedy. “Following the incident at the Francis Scott Key Bridge, we convened meetings, conducted outreach, and researched a similar scenario in Rhode Island waters,” RITBA stated. “We are working to respond to the NTSB’s request for relevant information.” The NTSB emphasized that its report does not indicate structural concerns but underscores the importance of risk evaluation to prevent future disasters. #newportri #newportbuzz #newportbridge

✨🍝 In honor of National Ravioli Day, we sing ✨🍝 In honor of National Ravioli Day, we sing the glory of the Raviolo di Formaggio from @pastavinori! One handmade cheese ravioli—oh, but it’s more than mere food. It’s art, it’s passion, it’s the soul of Italy laid bare upon a plate! 🤌 See how it rests in its pool of brown butter and black truffle sauce, shimmering like molten gold, like the sun’s own gift to the earth! O, the creaminess that envelops the tongue! The cheese, rich and triumphant, a song of the fields, the milk, and the toil of hands. Buttery, nutty, and bursting forth like life itself, abundant and unapologetic! And the truffle’s dark perfume, weaving through the senses like the mystery of nightfall! We celebrate it all—the labor of creation, the delicate balance of flavor and warmth, the way each bite brings the universe into sharper, sweeter focus! Because this ravioli? It’s not just a dish. It’s a hymn to indulgence, to joy, to the sheer electric thrill of living! 💫❤️‍🔥 #PastaVino #NewportRI #newportbuzz #middletownri
