Necklace Lights on Newport Bridge out due to electrical issue

The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) is informing the public the necklace lights on the Newport Pell Bridge are out due to an electrical problem. 

Lighting for the road on the bridge deck remains on and the flashing red safety lights for aviation on top of the towers and for navigation on the bridge stanchions are all working and in good order, according RIBTA.

RITBA says It may take several days to identify and correct the problem.
