Roads near the airport were closed to traffic for about a minute, Warwick police Lt. Joseph Petrarca said.
The flight landed without incident at 9:20 p.m., two minutes after its scheduled arrival, said airport spokesman Bill Fischer.
The problem was in the nose-wheel steering, so the aircraft had to be towed to the gate. It was carrying 53 people, Fischer said.
No other flights were affected, Fischer said, and mechanics were inspecting the plane.
The flight had been scheduled to end at Green.

WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) — A plane landed safely at T.F. Green Airport in Warwick Sunday night.
53 people were on board the United Airlines flight from Chicago.
It was scheduled to land in Rhode Island, but had a reported problem with nose gear, according to Rhode Island Airport Corporation spokesman Bill Fischer.
We’re told, the plane landed without incident, but there was a steering issue once on the ground and it had to be towed to the gate.
The plane is now being inspected by mechanics.
Crews from the Warwick Fire Department had been staged at the airport, but were cleared once the plane landed, according to fire officials.

In August 2017. My daughter and I were suppose to take a united express flight out but it was cancelled due to a mechanical problem with the front wheel and steering. The part was in Newark where we would be landing so they had to cancel the flight. I hope this wasn't the same plane with the same problems all this time later.
