DOT will announce new Rte. 195 onramp opening date

PROVIDENCE -- The state Department of Transportation this afternoon will announce the opening date for a new South Main Street onramp to Route 195 east.

The announcement will be at 1:30 p.m. at the DOT's office at Two Capitol Hill in the Transportation Management Center office.

Jerome F. Williams, the DOT director, will talk about the "accelerated construction schedule that has made this possible and the fact that congestion around the Iway has been steadily improving each night," a DOT news release says.

Commuters have seen traffic jams during evenings this week as they head south on Route 95 to go east on Route 195. A part of the Route 195 relocation, known as Iway, opened Sunday.
