Iway opening is on for Sunday ... at least for now

Though powerful winds and rainfall are in the forecast for tomorrow, the opening of part of the Iway -- the Route 195 relocation -- to cars and trucks is on for Sunday, at least at this point.

"As far as we're concerned, we're still looking to have the road opened by Sunday morning," said Dana Nolfe, spokeswoman for the Department of Transportation. "We'll have to play it by ear, but our goal is to go ahead."

Things could change over the weekend depending on what happens.

Part of the new, one-mile section of Route 195 and the Providence River Bridge are currently slated to open Sunday morning at 10.

The most recent forecast said winds may subside in the early evening tomorrow.
