Officials to check Point Judith breakwater

NARRAGANSETT - - U.S. Sen. Jack Reed and other elected officials will take a boat tour today to examine the state of the Point Judith breakwater in Narragansett.

Officials say Rhode Islanders have raised concerns about the structural integrity of the breakwater and its ability to protect the shoreline and navigation.

Reed will discuss the need and efforts to secure federal funding for repairs.

The Coast Guard, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, state and local officials will join Reed on the boat tour.
