A forensic audit shows Governor Dan McKee's administration may have overlooked decades of deterioration of the Washington Bridge in Providence.
An audit performed by WJE Associates says the McKee administration was justified in closing the bridge in December 2023 for safety reasons.
However, auditors believe state officials may have known about growing structural issues long before the bridge was shutdown.
Those issues included ineffective repairs and poor maintenance.
