PAVING NOTICE

Starting Monday November 4, 2024, T. Miozzi Paving will begin paving Tifft Road and Laurel Lane.  Grange Road and Rocky Hill Rd. will follow these two roads and all four roads should be completed by the end of the week. The work will be done between 7:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.

To help expedite this work we respectfully request that you move all vehicles off these roads.   There will be limited access to this area for the entire time Miozzi is working on these roadways. The only traffic will be for emergencies and local (residents) traffic.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may create, but with your patience and cooperation we can get this work completed as quickly as possible. There will be flaggers assigned to this project.

 Please note that this work could be cancelled without notice due to the weather or other unforeseen circumstances. They will be working on Tuesday (Election Day). If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact the North Smithfield Highway Division at 767-2200 Extension 348.
 

 

Sean "Diddy" Combs is being ordered to remain locked up until sentencing after being found guilty of transporting people for prostitution. Combs was found not guilty of the most serious charges against him, including racketeering and sex trafficking. He is expected to be sentenced on October 3rd.        Speaker Mike Johnson says he's hopeful the House can pass President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" sometime tonight.

The House remains stalled, with lawmakers yet to take the initial procedural vote to set the terms for debate.        Bryan Kohberger has officially pleaded guilty to fatally stabbing four college students in Idaho. In a Boise court today, Kohberger sat motionless while he accepted a plea deal that takes the death penalty off the table for the 2022 murders. He only spoke the single words, "yes" and "no," as the judge went through the plea. The prosecution detailed the evidence it had against Kohberger, including his Amazon purchase history of the knife used to commit the murders.        A small plane crash at Cross Keys Airport in Gloucester County, New Jersey has left multiple people injured. The incident occurred when a small plane that was reportedly involved in skydiving operations crashed near the airport in Williamstown. The Gloucester County Emergency Management described the event as a "mass casualty incident" and advised the public to avoid the area to allow emergency vehicles access.        The Pentagon says U.S. strikes have knocked Iran's nuclear program back "closer to two years." Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell gave the assessment Wednesday -- one that's more optimistic than what UN inspectors have said. Last weekend, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran could be enriching uranium in a matter of months.        The Fourth of July travel period is in full swing. Triple-A is predicting over 72 million-people will venture at least 50 miles from home over the Independence Day holiday period that started on June 28th and goes through July 6th. That's an additional one-point-three-million road travelers compared to 2024.
