JAMESTOWN, R.I. -- The Rhode Island Turnpike & Bridge Authority has set a Dec. 31 deadline for redeeming Pell Bridge tokens.

The tokens were replaced by the E-ZPass sytem in January.

Tokens may be redeemed at the authority's customer-service center on East Shore Road in Jamestown, or at participating chambers of commerce in Rhode Island. The E-ZPass customer service center is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
