A quick update from James Toomey of the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council on the status of the Washington Bridge detour signs:
The authorization letters from the affected cities and RIDOT have all been granted. The signs have been ordered and right now I’m just waiting on a date for installation.
Hopefully this means the signs will be in place as the weather gets nicer and more people take to the road with their bikes.
I’ve been told that the Narragansett Bay Wheelman grant program funded the purchase of the signs, thanks NBW! For those that aren’t aware, the NBW grant program quietly funds a lot of good projects around the state in support of cycling.
