Travel Advisory Update: Weekend Overnight I-95 Closures Completed

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) is updating its schedule of weekend overnight highway closures work on I-95 at the Route 10 (Exit 33) interchange in Cranston and Providence. The contractor was able to complete scheduled demolition work over this past weekend; therefore no additional nights of I-95 closures are necessary at this time.

This work is part of the ongoing I-95 Bridge Bridges project, which is completely rebuilding the I-95/Route 10 interchange.

A future phase of work may require similar closures later this year, and RIDOT will announce any closures well in advance.

The I-95 15 Bridges project is removing 15 bridges from the state's backlog of poor and fair to poor condition bridges along I-95 and Route 10 between Providence and Warwick. Nine of the 15 bridges are structurally deficient. Three are rated among the top five most traveled structurally deficient bridges in Rhode Island. At the Huntington Viaduct, RIDOT is redesigning the entire interchange of Route 10 with I-95. More details are available at www.ridot.net/The-I-95-15.

All construction projects are subject to changes in schedule and scope depending on needs, circumstances, findings, and weather.
