Town Hall discussion scheduled for Henderson Bridge replacement

THE R.I. DEPARTMENT of Transportation will hold a virtual town hall on May 6 to discuss its plans to replace the Henderson Bridge connecting East Providence to Providence.

EAST PROVIDENCE – One of the larger RhodeWorks projects on tap for the next several years will be the subject of a virtual town hall on May 6.

The event, scheduled from 6 to 7:30 p.m., will require an online registration through the R.I. Department of Transportation. The Henderson Bridge, which connects East Providence to the East Side of Providence, is a popular commuting route but the bridge is structurally deficient, and has had several lanes cordoned off for years because of this.

The state plans to replace the span using about $54 million in federal funds.
