Lown tries new tactic in toll fight in Rhode Island
Portsmouth moves to halt Sakonnet River Bridge toll plan by filing a Superior Court restraining order against the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority. The town seeks an injunction to stop work on a tolling structure, alleging no state building permit was issued and citing state building code enforcement. A federal bid to block the toll was denied earlier, and no hearing is set.
