« Sweet, sweet vinyl; fading but not forgotten | Today | Study: Foreclosure rate here to be slightly above average » April 18, 2008Another round of lane, ramp closings for Iway projectPerhaps you've been out of the loop and off the roads while on spring vacation this week. But anyone who drives through the Providence metro area at night should take notice of upcoming highway closings for construction work. Weather permitting, lane and ramp closings on Route 95 will begin Sunday night for work on the Route 195 interchange relocation project known as the Iway. The roadwork involves installing what are called stay-in-place forms, which help create an area for poured concrete to solidify into what will be the ramp taking drivers from Route 95 south to Route 195 east. Route 95 north between Exit 18 -- Thurbers Avenue -- and Exit 20 will be affected Sunday and Monday nights, and Route 95 south in the same area will be affected Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. It will begin with one lane closing at 8 p.m. From 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. three lanes are slated to close, with one lane open to traffic, the Department of Transportation said. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, when work is on Route 95 south, the ramp from Route 195 west to Route 95 south will be closed from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. Traffic on Route 195 west heading to Route 9 south will be directed to take Route 95 north to Exit 22B -- Routes 6/10 -- and to follow Route 10 south to Cranston, in order to continue on Route 95 South. During Route 95 south lane and ramp closings, Exit 19 to Rhode Island, Women & Infants and Hasbro hospitals will stay open for Route 95 south traffic. Traffic on Route 195 west heading to the hospital campus will be directed to take Exit 2 -- South Main Street -- then routed over the Point Street Bridge and onto Eddy Street to get to the hospitals. For more information this coming week on highway restrictions around Rhode Island, see the DOT Web site's travel advisory page. Posted by Mike McKinney CommentsPost a commentPlease be civil.
