Motorists: 95N's Exit 20 closing Wednesday AM / Map

Do you drive into Providence? Then you need to know: Wednesday's the day.

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation says that Wednesday morning it will permanently close Exit 20 on Route 95 north, which has for decades carried traffic from the south to Route 195 east, toward Cape Cod.

Two lanes were closed Tuesday on Route 6 westbound between Tobey Street and Hartford Avenue. The lanes will remain closed while crews work on bridge repair. Lanes should reopen by 2:30 p.m.

And Tuesday night, the two right lanes will be closed on Route 195 westbound between Exits 2/S. Main Street and Route 95. The Wickenden Street on-ramp to Route 195 westbound will also be closed tonight from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. to fix a hole in the deck of the bridge.

Don't know where to go if you can't take Exit 20? Read a Journal story for tips and see a map of the area and alternate routes.

To keep up with all of the detours, delays and lane closures, check the Transportation Management Center.
