Another RI Business Closing After Nearly 20 Years, Blaming RIDOT Washington Bridge Failure

Another Rhode Island business has announced its closure — blaming the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) Washington Bridge failure. 

Noodles 102 in Fox Point said in a statement that the bridge failure is responsible for their demise. 

“It is with a heavy heart here that we share with all of you that Noodles 102 will be closing its doors on Saturday June 8, 2024. After an incredible 17 years, this decision to move on is a result of the harsh economic conditions we are facing and the I-195 bridge repairs," they wrote.
