Boat ramp completion delayed two weeks
The Independence Park boat ramp, rebuilt with pre-cast concrete slabs and a new floating timber dock should be opening in mid-July.
The $1,601,207 project, partly funded with a $495,988 Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank Water Quality Grant, also includes a redesign of the adjacent parking area with stormwater retention basins that will help the water quality in the harbor as well as reduce parking lot erosion over the long term. Improvements will extend to the entrance of the parking lot and the end of the East Bay Bike Path, creating a safer and more aesthetically pleasing welcome to southbound cyclists.
