RI Officials Say Mount Hope Bridge is Safe—But Won’t Share Inspection Report

Rhode Island officials are standing by the safety of the nearly 100-year-old Mount Hope Bridge, despite growing questions about its condition.

According to WPRI’s Tim White, the state says the bridge is safe to drive on—but they’re refusing to release the most recent inspection report.

The lack of transparency is raising concerns among drivers and local residents who regularly cross the bridge connecting Bristol and Portsmouth.

Why won’t they share the report? State officials haven’t given a clear answer.

Stay tuned for updates.
