RIDOT and the City of Providence hosted a public meeting on February 1, 2010 to discuss proposed changes to city streets in the Jewelry District, Downcity and Wickenden Street areas once the old I-195 corridor has been demolished. Demolition of the old highway is proposed to take place in 2010 and reconstruction of city streets - many of which were bisected by the construction of the original highway - will take place in 2011 and 2012.
Explore the following links to view maps presented at the public meeting. These are the plans in their present-day form, and could change before they are constructed. RIDOT is committed to working with the city and its neighborhoods to accomplish the goal of rebuilding local streets and allowing for improved traffic flow for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists in the old I-195 corridor.
