Demolish And Build A New Bridge In A Week?

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation is planning to demolish a bridge in Providence this upcoming Friday and Saturday as part of a rapid replacement project.

RIDOT says the Glenbridge Avenue overpass on Route 6 will have a new bridge in place within one week.

Route 6 will be closed in both directions for the demolition.

Motorists will be detoured onto Hartford Avenue.

The Glenbridge Avenue Bridge is 53 years old and carries about 14-thousand vehicles daily.
