Traffic Alert: Traffic at a stand-still on Route 195

Traffic on Route 195 in East Providence is snarled this morning after a fuel leak led to lane and exit closures.

The accident, on the westbound side of the roadway, has a right lane and exit ramp closed at Exit 6/Broadway/US 44. The road is like a parking lot -- find an alternate route if you can.

East Providence fire and police responded to the scene along with the Department of Environmental Management’s hazardous materials team.

According to the fire department, an initial investigation points to something on the roadway puncturing an SUV’s gas tank. One fire truck is still on site.

To see how traffic is moving along your commute, see the Transportation Management Center's Web cameras.
