More underwater blasts tomorrow at old Jamestown span

NORTH KINGSTOWN -- Four more underwater piers of the old Jamestown Bridge are scheduled for demolition tomorrow afternoon.

The state Department of Transportation officials say they are coordinating this detonation with the ebb tide to minimize impacts on the environment.

Motorists on the nearby Jamestown-Verrazzano Bridge will experience minor delays during the detonations, which are scheduled for 2:15 p.m.

Detonations are expected through next month to complete the process of taking down the bridge. Its center truss was demolished in April, and several piers have already been destroyed in previous blastings.
