"Misspelling mars reopening of Sandy-damaged Cliff Walk in Newport
The governor’s name is misspelled on a new plaque unveiled in a ceremony to reopen Newport’s historic Cliff Walk. The plaque was unveiled Tuesday at the event, which Governor Lincoln Chafee attended. The plaque adds a second F to his name. The state Department of Transportation said the plaque will be removed Wednesday and a new one will be made and installed, probably in July. The DOT says the project contractor, John Rocchio Corp., made the plaque, in coordination with the Cliff Walk Commission and the project engineer. The Cliff Walk runs between the Atlantic Ocean and some of the city’s most spectacular Gilded Age mansions. It was reopened 20 months after Superstorm Sandy washed away whole sections."
