AN ACT RELATING TO HIGHWAYS -- RELOCATION OF UTILITY SERVICES

Summary

The bill authorizes Rhode Island to order private, municipal, or state-owned utility facilities to be moved when needed for federally aided highway projects. The state will pay half of the relocation expenses, but only for moves that meet state‑set design criteria and timelines. This aims to streamline highway construction while sharing costs with utility owners.
