Alviti: Washington Bridge is ‘the one I’m truly sorry for’

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — RIDOT Director Peter Alviti spent four hours taking questions about the Washington Bridge from lawmakers Monday.

Alviti was joined at the joint oversight committee hearing by senior deputy chief of staff Joseph Almond, explaining that seven engineering firms are currently investigating how severe the damage to the bridge is.

“We eat, drink and sleep the problems of this every day and trying to find the solutions to it for everyone,” said Alviti. “I accept responsibility for this, I am at the top of DOT.”
