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

FILE - Diverted traffic passes a closed portion of the Washington Bridge, March 8, 2024, in East Providence, R.I. PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee announced Friday that the state has filed a lawsuit against 13 companies that provided design, construction and inspection services related to the troubled Washington Bridge.

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. “In the nearly nine months since the abrupt closure, our economy has borne an immense cost, and our state has and will continue to have to expend significant resources as a result,” state Attorney General Peter Neronha said in a written statement.
