Road construction affecting travel on Ruggles Avenue

The city of Newport and T. Miozzi Construction are performing roadway improvements on Ruggles Avenue between Bellevue Avenue and the Cliff Walk. The project is expected to last several weeks, during which time access to Ochre Point Avenue from Ruggles Avenue will be limited.

Roadwork will take place between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students, faculty and staff should use alternate routes to campus to avoid detours and delays.

RIPTA has adjusted its bus routes due to the road construction. The temporary route began running on Wednesday, Oct. 29 and will continue until construction is completed.
