Southern Portion of Cliff Walk Closed for Repairs
Majority of Cliff Walk Remains Open for Pedestrians
NEWPORT, R.I. (THURSDAY, April 4, 2024) – A portion of the southern end of Newport’s idyllic Cliff Walk has been closed for repairs.
The decision follows the discovery of a sinkhole first reported by a community member through the City’s 311 ReportIt! Newport app.
The roughly ¼ mile-long closure, which extends from the tunnel due east of Clarendon Court to the stairs leading to the Miramar sidewalk, is part of the Cliff Walk’s more rugged southern section.
