completed by Aug. 28, 2026. Kubricky Construction–Jointa Lime of Wilton, N.Y., is serving as the lead contractor. “The primary focus of work this season is to have the site ready to remove and replace the old bridge in spring 2026,” said Amy Tatko, spokesperson of VTrans. “The contractor installed new valves and water lines so the old water line going over the bridge could be shut off and removed along see BRIDGE page 22
Demolition of R.I.’s Damaged Washington Bridge Completes Ahead of Schedule Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee announced Dec. 5, 2025, that Providence’s Washington Bridge has been fully demolished ahead of schedule, a major milestone in the efforts to replace it following the structure’s abrupt closing on Dec. 11, 2023. “We continue to make progress on the Washington Bridge project, and reaching this major demolition milestone is an important step forward,” McKee noted in a news release
from his office. “I know travelers are still feeling the frustration of traffic, and I want to assure them that we are fully committed to rebuilding this bridge as quickly as possible, with one of the nation’s top bridge builders leading the work. “We thank Rhode Islanders for their patience as we construct a new, safe bridge that will improve traffic flow and shorten commute times.” see DEMO page 10
