Restored section of Cliff Walk opens today

A restored portion of Newport’s famed Cliff Walk will open to the public today after a 1 p.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the early completion of a $4.3 million restoration project.

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation’s ceremony will be on the Cliff Walk behind the Rosecliff mansion on Bellevue Avenue in Newport.

The Cliff Walk follows the natural beauty of the Newport shoreline while highlighting the grandeur of the Newport mansions.

The restoration project was designed to repair undermined sections of the Cliff Walk and to prevent any further erosion of the southern section of the Cliff Walk from Ruggles Avenue to Bailey’s Beach, according to the DOT.
