With work underway in the Newport Pell Bridge plaza, please remember to keep your eyes on the road. Slowing down to check out construction causes congestion, delays, and accidents. Thank you! #NPBridge
THANK YOU to morning commuters who “zipper merged” at #NPBridge, using both lanes to merge point. Afternoon traffic is slower because motorists straddle two lanes to block vehicles from using both. Please allow travel in BOTH lanes to merge point.
