Demolition work on the westbound Washington Bridge has been put on hold to preserve evidence in the state's lawsuit against companies that worked on the span.
Governor Dan McKee and Attorney General Peter Neronha say engineers for RIDOT have reached the point in the demolition where work must be paused so evidence in the legal case is not destroyed.
They say the goal is to be able to continue demolition as swiftly as possible while ensuring important evidence is preserved.
