One highway commute tonight: 5.8 miles in 58 minutes

It took our reporter about 58 minutes to do 5.8 miles this evening from a Route 95 exit in Pawtucket, merging onto Route 195 and ending at the Washington Bridge in East Providence.

Earlier, while in the midst of the journey, she offered this advice:

Go have dinner somewhere.

Traffic on Route 95 south was bumper to bumper from the School Street exit in Pawtucket to downtown Providence where a new traffic pattern resulting from the Iway project was in its second week-night of use.

It took about 12 minutes to travel one mile through Pawtucket on Route 95 south.

Route 95 south of the merge, however, looks beautiful this evening for travel.
