Pell Bridge Ramps Phase 2, Newport
We recently changed the traffic pattern on Route 138 East just after crossing the Pell Bridge into a split configuration. Route 138 bridge work will continue behind barrier and may require temporary lane shifts along Third Street and JT Connell Highway. Traffic along Halsey Street will use the newly paved roadway, and shared use path construction near the cemetery will continue along the Newport Secondary Rail Line. Next weekend (June 24-26), we anticipate daytime and overnight roadwork with alternating lane closures along Admiral Kalbfus Road at the railroad crossing west of the roundabout. Flaggers and police details remain on site during these operations.

Daytime drainage and electrical conduit installations and grading the new Route 6 West requires alternating lane closures on Route 10 South, from the 6/10 split to Union Avenue.
