## Resource

The Mount Hope Bridge, a vital link between Bristol and Portsmouth, is under intense scrutiny after a 500-page safety study was finally released — a move that follows a heated legal battle over transparency. Bristol sued in March to obtain inspection reports, only to be denied by RITBA, who cited security concerns — a decision that fueled local frustration, especially after last year’s Washington Bridge closure. The June 2024 report, titled “Conceptual Safety Implementation Measures Feasibility Study,” offers a detailed roadmap for potential upgrades, but its full impact remains to be seen. Built in 1929, the bridge’s age adds urgency to the findings — and the community watches closely to see if this study translates into real, lasting safety improvements.
