"Governor McKee's Legal Team Announcement and Washington Bridge Forensic Analysis Delay Explained"
TL;DR
Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee is set to announce the legal team hired to pursue action related to the Washington Bridge failure, causing the westbound side to be closed. The release of the forensic audit report has been delayed as a result, with McKee stating that he will coordinate with the legal team on its release. Despite Attorney General Peter Neronha offering assistance, McKee declined, emphasizing the need to confirm the safety of the bridge. The Biden Administration has announced over $60 million in transit formula funding for Rhode Island, but it's unclear if any will directly benefit the Washington Bridge.
