NEW: On 6/20 at 10pm, #RIDOT is scheduled to begin a temporary extended weekend closure of Newell Bridge in #Cumberland for its demolition and reconstruction. The bridge carries Diamond Hill Rd (Rte 114) over the East Sneech Brook near the Bentley Field Complex. The closure will go through the weekend with all lanes opening on the new bridge structure by 5am on 6/23.
RIDOT over the summer will be relocating above and underground utilities before completing work on the bridge. A second extended weekend closure is expected in late fall to demolish and replace the remaining 20 percent of the bridge and do final paving.
As part of this same project, RIDOT plans to resurface Sneech Pond Rd, from Nate Whipple Hwy to Little Pond Rd, and from Anna Mac Dr to Nate Whipple Hwy. This will involve overnight lane closures on Sneech Pond Rd, and likely occur in late summer.
