RHODE ISLAND, January 4 – Beginning Friday, January 14, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) is scheduled to close the Mohegan Bridge, which carries Route 102 (Bronco Highway) over the Branch River in Burrillville.

RIDOT began replacing this structurally deficient bridge in spring 2021, and detoured Route 102 northbound traffic. Closing the bridge entirely will allow construction to move ahead efficiently and safely with work on the northbound half of the bridge finishing in late spring/early summer 2022 before work begins on the southbound half of the bridge.

During the closure, RIDOT will sign a recommended detour for both northbound and southbound traffic using Douglas Turnpike (Route 7), Victory Highway and East Avenue. A detour map is available at www.ridot.net/DetourMaps. Temporary traffic signals will be put in place along the detour route to assist motorists.

In addition to replacing the bridge, the $10.6 million contract includes resurfacing Route 102 at the bridge and its approaches, including its intersection with Route 7. New guardrail, signing, striping and drainage improvements will also be installed as part of the project. The bridge carries about 15,200 vehicles per day. The project will be done in spring 2023.

All construction projects are subject to changes in schedule and scope depending on needs, circumstances, findings, and weather.

The replacement of the Mohegan Bridge is made possible by RhodeWorks, RIDOT’s ongoing commitment to repair structurally deficient bridges and bring Rhode Island’s transportation infrastructure into a state of good repair, promote economic development, and create jobs.

Mary Richardson, legendary Boston broadcaster and former longtime co-anchor of Chronicle on WCVB Channel 5, passed away last night after a brave seven-year battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. She was 76.Richardson is survived by her husband Stan Leven who was a longtime senior producer for Chronicle. Leven said, “Mary never let her Alzheimer’s define her or slow her down. She was as real as real could be, a force in motion and always gracious, stopping to talk to her fans. Our family came to accept that we share Mary, you can’t contain Mary.”Richardson is also survived by her three children Chris, Jessie, and Matt as well as two grandchildren.A beloved member of the Channel 5 family for more than 30 years, Richardson joined WCVB in 1980 as a news reporter and anchor, as well as host of the weekly public affairs program “Five on Five.” In 1984, she joined Peter Mehegan as co-anchor of the station’s acclaimed Chronicle, now the nation’s longest-running locally-produced nightly newsmagazine in the country. From 2005 until 2010, Richardson co-anchored Chronicle with Anthony Everett.Paul LaCamera, former WCVB Channel 5 President and General Manager, and friend of Richardson, said, “As Chronicle celebrates its 40th anniversary, Mary is remembered as part of the program for most of those 40 years.

Mary had it all, a fine reporter, writer, producer, smart, attractive, affable and possessed that classic indomitable Irish spirit and wit. A dear colleague and friend to all of us.”“We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Mary who was one of Channel 5’s most cherished and highly-regarded journalists whose standard of excellence influences Chronicle to this day,” said Kyle Grimes, WCVB Channel 5 President and General Manager. “We…

Emma Broiles made history.

On Thursday night, college students were awarded the title of Miss America 2022 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Miss Alaska is the first to win the title in Pageant’s 100-year history.

What started as a beauty pageant in Atlantic City in 1921 has evolved from focusing solely on appearance. Athletes are no longer judged by appearance, with a new focus on leadership, talent and communication skills.

In addition to the 100th Anniversary Crown, Broiles claimed $ 100,000 in a college scholarship. She emerged as a winner out of 51 contestants representing 50 states and the District of Columbia.

MISS AMERICA 2022 WINNER: MISS ALASKA, EMMA BROYLES IS CROWNED

Broilles told Fox News about winning the crown, her personal struggle, and why she’s proud to be an American.

Fox News: Go back to the moment you first heard “Miss Alaska”.
Emma Broiles: To be honest, I couldn’t believe I was in the top 10. Miss Alaska has only played in the finals twice in history. So it was an honor for me to be there on the 100th anniversary of Miss America, which represents Alaska. When I got there, I was just shocked for the rest of the night. And from there everything was so blurry. Before I knew it, I was in the top five and the last one called was me.

But then I was in the top three and then I stood up with Miss Alabama. At that moment, I thought I was really in a dream. I needed to be pinched. I couldn’t believe it because of that haze. And when I heard my name called, it was a very surreal moment. I…

COVID-19 has made its first impact on the UConn women’s basketball team’s 2021-22 schedule.

The Big East announced Sunday that the 11th-ranked Huskies’ conference game with Marquette slated for Wednesday at the XL Center in Hartford will not be played due to COVID issues within the Marquette program.

Per the Big East game cancellation policy, the conference office will attempt to reschedule the game in accordance with the policy.

UConn (6-3, 1-0 Big East) has not played since its 69-64 loss to Louisville in the Basketball Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase at Mohegan Sun Arena on Dec. 19. Marquette (9-3, 2-1) defeated Cincinnati 60-49 in Milwaukee on Wednesday.

A season ago, the Huskies had their appearances in the 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame Women’s Challenge and the 2020 Jimmy V Women’s Classic canceled after a member of their program (not a player or a coach) tested positive. They also had a non-conference showdown at Baylor and conference games against Villanova and at Providence canceled because of issues at their opponents’ schools. In March, UConn coach Geno Auriemma — who was fully vaccinated — tested positive and missed the Huskies’ opening NCAA tournament games in San Antonio with High Point and Syracuse.

The Huskies’ next game is now scheduled for Friday at DePaul.

UConn announced that season ticket holders will retain access to their seats for any rescheduled contest. If a canceled game is unable to be rescheduled, UConn athletics will credit the account of a season ticket holder at the conclusion of the season. Fans who purchased a three-game mini-plan or single-game ticket to a canceled game, can utilize their same game ticket(s) for the rescheduled game.
