US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

The annual CIRI Spring Dinner Meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, May 27 at the Crowne Plaza Providence-Warwick. We are pleased to welcome RI Senator Sheldon Whitehouse as our keynote speaker. Active in numerous bipartisan infrastructure efforts, Senator Whitehouse played a direct legislative role in pieces of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

As part of RI’s congressional delegation, the Senator has delivered more than $380 million in major job-creating investments across Rhode Island. These investments include the current Washington Bridge Rebuild and Route 4 Missing Move projects, the Pell Bridge approaches/ramps upgrade, the overhaul of Route 146 and the massive rebuild of the I-95 Northbound Providence Viaduct.

Beyond the core IIJA formula funding, Senator Whitehouse has collaborated to champion a number of crucial discretionary grants. The additional monies these grants have generated for Rhode Island include $221 million for the Washington Bridge, $251 million for the I-95 15 Bridges project and $81 million for the Route 4 Missing Move project.
