- 'This should've been discovered long ago,' says McKee on Washington Bridge breakdown
- Date posted

- Description
- Gov. Dan McKee said the decision to tear down the westbound side of the Washington Bridge should've been made years ago.
The comments come one day after he announced the bridge will be demolished and rebuilt.
"I believe that it took us 90 days to figure out what they should have figured out five years ago," McKee said. "The bridge needed to come down."
He said "a day of reckoning" is coming, but he's standing by Transportation Director Peter Alviti, who was in charge at the time the governor now says they should've known a new bridge was needed.
He wouldn't say if he believes previous administrations or engineering groups working on the bridge are to blame.
"I think that's part of what we're going to be looking at in terms of accountability," he said.

- 14 days ago
- Description
- We've spent some time in previous 75th anniversary segments showing you a few sights we don't expect to see in Southern New England, like radar defense towers and oil drilling platforms.
But 60 years ago, WJAR-TV covered something else that seems hard to imagine: a serious nuclear accident, in Charlestown.
The United Nuclear Corp. recovered uranium from contaminated wastewater at its plant.
There was no reactor, but some people thought they heard a nuclear explosion on July 24, 1964.
"No nuclear materials were spread beyond the plant's confines. Contrary to earlier reports, there was no atomic explosion," a United Nuclear official said in a contemporary news report.
Worker Robert Peabody accidentally started a chain reaction with a concentrated uranium solution. He died of radiation poisoning two days later.
It took decades, but the site was cleaned up. It's now the Francis Carter Nature Preserve.

- Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee and Department of Transportation Director Peter Alviti said Thursday that engineering reports found problems with the westbound Washington Bridge that leave demolition and replacement as the only viable option.
"The findings show additional, significant structural deficiencies that cannot viably be repaired. For that reason, we must replace the superstructure and part or all of the substructure," McKee said.
The bridge was closed abruptly in December over safety concerns caused by broken tie-down rods. Alviti said he envisions the new bridge to open to traffic between March and September 2026.

- Before wind farms, WJAR-TV reported on controversial offshore oil drilling platforms
- Date posted
- 14 days ago
- Description
- In the early 1960s, the Texas Towers military radar platforms kept watch for foreign attacks.
Those were gone by the end of 1964, and over the next couple of decades, there were oil drilling platforms offshore.
One was in Narragansett Bay in 1979, heading south to Baltimore Canyon.
In 1981, two platforms drilled for oil in Georges Bank.
Commercial fishermen worried their rich fishing grounds would be disrupted and polluted.
The platforms were also the subject of a special program on WJAR-TV, produced by then-rookie reporter Frank Coletta.
"If significant oil and gas is found in this area, it will be eight or nine years before it will become commercially viable," Coletta reported.
Frank did all right for himself, but the drilling was never commercially viable, and those rigs eventually left the area.
Today, it's offshore wind farms that are causing controversy.

It's a lengthy but detailed testimony of how St. Mary's plans to regain the trust of its community and clients.

Montorio-Archer said they have made serious changes in the wake of a harsh report on conditions at St Mary's Home for Children, including security upgrades, compliance monitoring and staff training.

- WJAR-TV personality Betty Adams was 'engaged' to crew of Texas Towers radar site
- Date posted
- 16 days ago
- Description
- The goal of the Texas Towers radar facilities off Nantucket was to protect America against a sneak attack by the Soviet Union or Cuba.
WJAR-TV's Betty Adams had exclusive access to the military installation for her program "The World Around Us" in the 1960s.
She found that by necessity, the staff was self-sufficient. They baked their own bread and gave her a freshly baked loaf to take back to the mainland.
Adams also learned that some of the crew would make rings out of 50 cent coins.
One crew member offered her one.
"As of this moment, I'm engaged to the crew of Texas Tower 3!" she said. "Thank you very much!"
Like Betty's "engagement," those radar platforms didn't last very long.

- Description
- A Rhode Islander who ran for governor twice is getting national attention this week.
Ken Block is making the TV rounds, talking about his new book, "Disproven," which was released Tuesday.
Block was hired by Donald Trump’s campaign to look for voter fraud in 2020.
But what he found, instead, proves the now-former president’s claims false.
"I’m the guy that the Trump campaign hired to look for voter fraud that would survive legal scrutiny. And I couldn’t find it," Block told NBC 10 News on Tuesday from New York.
Block, a tech businessman, data analyst, and former gubernatorial candidate, was contacted by Trump's campaign in the days after the president lost the 2020 election.
Block said he was asked to give an honest look for voter fraud, without political pressure.
