Highway ‘structural issue’ drops concrete and steel on tracks in Cranston, RI. Amtrak Service Halted
CRANSTON, R.I. (WPRI) — The train tracks running through Cranston and an on-ramp from Route 10 North to Interstate 95 North are both closed after an “apparent structural issue” on Friday evening, according to Cranston police.
Col. Michael Winquist told 12 News a piece of the highway “became detached” and landed on the railroad tracks, forcing Amtrak to halt all trains traveling between Kingston and Boston.
In a social media alert to passengers in the Northeast Corridor, Amtrak warned that they’re experiencing “lengthy delays due to an ongoing signal outage in the area.”
Amtrak Police and Rhode Island Energy also responded to the scene.
