Rhode Island files lawsuit against 13 companies that worked on troubled Washington Bridge

Construction crews work on the eastbound lanes of the Washington Bridge in Providence, R.I., in 2007.

The bridge was partially shut down over safety concerns in December. McKee said in March that the bridge would need to be demolished and replaced. McKee said the lawsuit filed Friday seeks to hold accountable those companies responsible for the near-miss catastrophic closure of the bridge and to recover the significant resources required to rebuild the bridge and compensate the state.

The lawsuit also alleged there were multiple failures over multiple years to bring problems with the bridge to the attention of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation.
