Portsmouth's Escape Bridge will finally reopen at 9am tomorrow after a 10-month rehab, according to a press release from the RI Dept. of Transportation. Here's the blurb:

Through a $2 million contract with Cardi Corporation, RIDOT replaced the superstructure of the 51-year-old bridge, one of two access points that serve as evacuation routes for the Island Park area. Built in 1961, the bridge primarily serves local traffic and has an average daily traffic count of 2,100 vehicles per day.

The recently completed work allows RIDOT to lift all weight restrictions on the bridge. The structure's weight limit was lowered to four tons in 2009 because of its deteriorating condition.
