Dec 13, 2025
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — East Providence Mayor Bob DaSilva said that a road collapsed while the city’s water department was responding to a water main break on Saturday morning.
DaSilva said the break appeared to have been causing a cavity in the road for “some time” causing the road
to collapse under a truck.
There were no injuries and a crew was being dispatched to remove the truck.
Four homes would be without water while the main was being fixed.
