罗得岛总督要求在推迟公布对2023年桥桥关闭情况进行指责的审计后举行听证会。 Rhode Island governor demands hearings after delayed release of audit blaming state for 2023 bridge closure.

总督Dan Mckee呼吁对华盛顿大桥关闭案进行监督听证,因为法医审计发现,2023年关闭部分归咎于国家,但推迟公布后,这项审计认定,2023年关闭部分归咎于国家。 Governor Dan McKee has called for oversight hearings into the Washington Bridge closure, following the delayed release of a forensic audit that found the state was partially to blame for the 2023 closure. 这份64页的报告于2024年4月完成,由于正在对13个承包商提起诉讼,该报告被搁置了一年多。 Mckee说,为了保护可能的纳税人追偿,必须这样做。 The 64-page report, completed in April 2024, was withheld for over a year due to ongoing litigation against 13 contractors, which McKee said was necessary to protect potential taxpayer recoveries. 审计在9月26日正式公布前被泄露,引起两党要求问责。 The audit was leaked before its official release on September 26, prompting bipartisan demands for accountability. 众议院议长Joe Shekarchi和参议院议长Valarie Lawson计划于10月举行联合听证会,可能包括宣誓证词,同时与总检察长办公室协商。 House Speaker Joe Shekarchi and Senate President Valarie Lawson plan joint hearings in October, possibly including sworn testimony, while consulting with the attorney general’s office. 西行线被拆除,预计2028年底将更换。 The westbound span was demolished, and a replacement is expected by late 2028.
