New sidewalks on Block Island

Ten thousand feet of sidewalk has been rebuilt along Block Island’s waterfront and at the island’s busiest intersection.

Today, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation will hold a dedication ceremony for the Bridge Gate Square project in New Shoreham.

Bridge Gate Square –– the intersection of Dodge Street, Old Town Road, Ocean Avenue and Corn Neck Road –– was the focal point of the project. The dedication will take place today at 11 a.m. in front of the Block Island Historical Society.

The $2.4-million project reconstructed an intersection in the Old Harbor district, where most of the ferries land. Improvements were also made to the sidewalks along the waterfront, bringing them into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
