Mar 29, 2024 · 0:04. 0:45. NEWPORT – Any hopes that the city could easily develop the land around the new Pell Bridge ramp realignment by itself were dampened on Wednesday as the City Council learned that acquiring the land, whether it is developable or not, would probably require having a bigger entity, like the state, along for the ride.
