Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx visited Rhode Island to urge bipartisan action to prevent the federal Highway Trust Fund from running out of money this year.
The fund supports repairs, maintenance, and new construction of roads, bridges, and public transportation across the country - and any shortfalls would be felt particularly hard here in Rhode Island.
We're putting the finishing touches on repair work to a major portion of Cliff Walk in Newport. This unique transportation asset stretches 3.5 miles along Newport's rocky coastline. In October 2012, Superstorm Sandy caused severe damage to the southern end of the path.
Our Pawtucket River Bridge project just earned a national award in the America's Transportation Awards competition! We placed in the Under Budget category for this project.
RIDOT hosted hundreds of high school students from across Rhode Island for hands-on experiences in transportation construction at the 14th Construction Career Days
