RITBA inspects the four major bridges after Sunday’s earthquake, and no damage was reported

Immediately after the release of a report on the earthquake that struck parts of southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island on Sunday morning, the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) consulted with bridge engineers and dispatched RITBA engineering and maintenance personnel to assess and inspect Newport Bell, Mount Hope, the Saconette River, and Jamestown Verrazano bridges.

As part of the evaluation, special attention was paid to the alignment of the joints on the bridges. Using protocols specifically developed for post-earthquake inspections, RITBA found no problems with any of its four major bridges. “The integrity and structural integrity of these bridges is a top priority at RITBA. We are pleased to announce that our initial inspections have not revealed any problems with any of our four major bridges,” said Lori Caron Silvera, Executive Director of RITBA.

As part of RITBA’s Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan, the four major bridges are thoroughly inspected and are a continuous process. The Mount Hope Bridge is inspected every two years. This weekend’s seismic event will prompt the development of strengthened inspection procedures to ensure that the most vulnerable areas of the RITBA bridges are monitored for any post-earthquake issues.
