RITBA Schedules Implementation Of Pell Bridge AET Conversion

The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority announced plans for completing the conversion of the Claiborne Pell (Newport) Bridge to all-electronic tolling. The bridge’s existing open-road tolling lanes will be closed from October 14 through October 28 to allow for equipment installation and lane re-configuration, during which time all traffic will be diverted through gated lanes. Cash and credit card transactions will be phased out over a 24-hour period between October 27 and 28. RITBA urges motorists to drive cautiously during the work period and recommends E-ZPass customers to make sure their account information is current.
