Why is it called the Iway? (I-195 Relocation) project.
Latest project overview map (pdf)
Full highway closures on I-95 North and South will take place during four nights this month. RIDOT will close at least one lane in each direction on I-95 after 8 p.m. each night of a scheduled closure, with the full closures taking place after 11 p.m. All lanes will be restored by 5:30 a.m. the next day, prior to the morning commute.
The closure nights are:
Traffic volumes during the overnight hours are quite low, however motorists are strongly encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid travel delays.
The work zone will be between Exit 19 (I-195 northbound; Eddy Street southbound) and Exit 21 (Broadway northbound; Atwells Avenue soutbound). Additionally, I-195 West after Exit 2 ( South Main Street ) will only be open to traffic heading to I-95 South.
Most through traffic should use Route 10 or I-295 to bypass the construction area. For local traffic, RIDOT has established numerous signed detour routes (see below).
All work and schedules are weather dependent.
