« Man charged for not registering as sex offender | Today | Pension change: Short-term cost, long-term savings » October 11, 2007Take a walk on the IWayHopefully it will be the only time you’ll be walking across the interstate. The Rhode Island Department of Transportation today announced it’s giving residents a chance to walk across the IWay ramp that will soon connect Interstate-95 north to Interstate-195 East. Rain or shine, the half-mile walk is set for Oct. 20 from 9 a.m. to noon. RIDOT officials will be on hand to explain how they hope the ramp will affect traffic and routes. “The Department felt it was important to organize this event to let the public see the Iway,” RIDOT Director Jerome F. Williams said in a statement today. “This is a significant change to our interstate highway and this will be the only chance anyone will have to walk on this roadway before it opens.” A shuttle bus will bring visitors from satellite parking lots to the IWay. For more information, visit the DOT's IWay Web site. DIRECTIONS TO SATELLITE PARKING LOCATIONS: North lot: From I-95 North, take Exit 23 (state offices). At the end of the ramp, go straight through the traffic signal. Two access roads to the right lead to large parking lots adjacent to the Department of Administration, the Department of Health, and RIDOT buildings. Additional parking will be available in the lot on the east side of the State House, accessible off Smith Street. Get shuttle on the north side Smith Street, adjacent to the RIDOT building. South lot: From I-95 North or South, take Exit 18 (Thurbers Avenue) and follow signs to Allens Avenue (U.S. 1). Take a right onto Allens Avenue south and follow approximately 1 mile to Harborside Boulevard. Take a left onto Harborside Boulevard. In about one-third of a mile, take a left onto Shipyard Street. Parking is available on the left in Lot C and on the right in the commuter lot (Lot F). Get shuttle at bus turnaround north of Lot C.
