Thank you for Zipper Merging!
THANK YOU to morning commuters who “zipper merged” at the Newport Pell Bridge, using both lanes to the merge point. Afternoon traffic is slower because motorists straddle two lanes to block vehicles from using both.
Please allow travel in BOTH lanes to the merge point.

Why do we emphasize safety? Because it could mean the difference between someone getting home or not.
Our pledge: Double-check every lane closure, stay alert in high-speed zones, and mentor the next generation of bridge safety pros. #BeSafeTogether #BeTheHighwayHero @IBTTA
