The bill amends Chapter 24-12 of the General Laws concerning the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) by introducing a new section, 24-12-60, focused on safety measures for specific bridges. It directs RITBA to design a safety barrier and/or safety netting on the Mount Hope Bridge, the Claiborne Pell Bridge, and the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge. The bill outlines a timeline for this process, requiring RITBA to submit the design to the House and Senate finance committees by January 1, 2026, issue a request for proposals by April 30, 2026, and commence construction by August 1, 2026. Additionally, the bill mandates that any newly constructed bridges within the state with a deck height exceeding one hundred feet must include safety barriers or safety netting. This legislation will take effect upon passage.
