RITBA is a quasi-public agency created by the Rhode Island General Assembly in 1954 as a corporate and body politic, with powers to construct, acquire, maintain, and operate bridge projects as defined by law. The Authority was responsible for the construction of the Claiborne Pell Bridge (formerly the Newport Bridge) which opened to traffic on June 28, 1969. The Authority has been responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Mount Hope Bridge between Bristol, Rhode Island and Portsmouth, Rhode Island and the Claiborne Pell Bridge between Newport, Rhode Island and Jamestown, Rhode Island since 1964 and 1969, respectively. On April 25, 2013, the State transferred custody, control and supervision of the land and improvements for the Jamestown Verrazzano and the Sakonnet River Bridges from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) to the Authority. Ownership and title of the bridges remains with the State. In addition to the four (4) bridges noted above, the Authority also operates and maintains Route 138 through Jamestown and ten (10) smaller bridges associated with this highway and the approaches to the four (4) major bridges. Currently only the Claiborne Pell Bridge is tolled with tolls being collected in both directions at a single plaza on the Jamestown side of the bridge.
