Emergency Road Closure

Emergency Road Closure and Detour on Rt. 7

As a result of the rainstorm earlier this week, a soil slope erosion issue has occurred along Rt. 7 between the stone arch bridge and the newly constructed Mill Canal Bridge #110. RIDOT has approved an emergency declaration to implement a Northbound detour at Victory Highway.  Northbound traffic will need to turn left onto Victory Highway and follow the same detour they had for the bridge work last year.  Rt. 7 Southbound traffic will still be allowed to travel through the area. 

This detour was implemented this afternoon (December 21, 2023).  Repairs are likely to begin next week.  Next week during working hours a full detour will be used to allow equipment to work.  One way detour will be utilized during non-working hours.
