Governor Dan McKee, joined by Administration officials, will visit elementary schools in Westerly and Smithfield today to hear updates from local school leaders on how they are navigating the Delta variant and managing strategies to provide safe in-person learning.

Starting tonight, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) will make a change to traffic patterns at the Newport Rotary (the intersection of JT Connell Highway and Admiral Kalbfus Road).
