ABC6 News was back out “On the Road” on Friday, July 24th—this time in Newport!

Anchors John DeLuca and Alexandra Cowley were live on Bowen’s Wharf with a number of guests, including Mayor Jeanne-Marie Napolitano, President of Bowen’s Wharf, Bart Dunbar, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Senator Jack Reed, and President of the Naval War College, Rear Admiral P. Gardner Howe.

John and Allie fill us in on the history of the Wharf, when it was a busy maritime hotspot, trading goods around the world.

Senator Reed gives his input on the recent tragedies in Lafayette, LA, and Chattanooga, TN, where shootings claimed the lives of innocent people.

Senator Whitehouse stops in to discuss transportation funding in the state for our highways and roads.

Admiral Howe chats about what it means to be Navy Seal and some history on the Naval College, and David DeMuzio fills us in on Newport’s Unique Antique Car Museum.

Watch John and Allie "On the Road" in Newport on the ABC6 News YouTube page, here.
