« Periods of rain, falling temps | Today | Election day for several cities and towns » November 6, 2007State to discuss Iway successes, problemsState Transportation officials are scheduled to meet this morning to discuss problems with yesterday afternoon's commute after the opening of the Iway. The morning commute went well, but drivers traveling south on Route 95 to Route 195 east last evening hit a huge traffic jam because of the lane modifications made for the new, $610-million project. Some drivers told the state police they were stuck in traffic for hours. The new section of highway connects Route 95 north to Route 195 east, but drivers heading east on Route 195 from Route 95 south still use the previously existing exit and must merge into fewer lanes. Frank Corrao III, deputy chief engineer at the state Department of Transportation said state officials will put necessary improvements in place as soon as possible.

I was traveling from the Friendship Street on ramp going east at 3:15pm yesterday. I-195E was a NIGHTMARE!! The road would go from 3 lanes to 2 lanes in three different sections. If a driver needs to get off at Exit5 Taunton Ave/Riverside, they need to travel over 3 lanes of traffic quickly right in front of the new I195 on ramp. This is a very hazardous move. I can envision many accidents happening there. What were the powers that be thinking??
