Created using ChatSlide

The Washington Bridge is set for demolition and replacement due to structural deficiencies, with an expected completion date of September 2026. The federal government will cover 80% of the estimated $250-300 million cost, with the state funding the remaining 20%. The demolition and construction will overlap, aiming to be completed by March 2025. This plan has brought relief to Providence and East Providence mayors and provides a clear path for the future of the bridge.
