Channel 11 Traffic Anchor Trisha Pittman said drivers can only access RIDC from South Linden Street now.

Officials with the food bank also asked that people discontinue traditional food drives until further notice due to the coronavirus. Food bank officials said it cuts down on people coming through the door and allows employees to spend time packing food boxes and sorting bulk produce.

You’re instead asked to donate money. For every $1, the food bank can provide food for five meals.
