The Rhode Island Department of Transportation has announced that another shift to the temporary traffic patterns on Route 195 in Providence will go into effect next week.

There will still be a divided highway configuration between the Route 95 interchange and the Gano Street exits, but the latest shift will change the number of lanes on either side of the split.

Beginning Wednesday, eastbound traffic will encounter a split with two lanes to the left and two to the right (currently there are three lanes to the left of the split and one to the right). All the lanes will be through lanes, continuing on to Route 195. Westbound traffic will experience the new traffic pattern beginning Thursday.

Drivers traveling from Route 95 South to Route 195 East will not have access to Exit 2 (India Street). Traffic will be detoured to Exit 5, where vehicles will reverse direction to Route 195 West and back to Exit 3 (Gano Street).

In order to get the new traffic configurations in place, lane closures will be in effect overnight Tuesday on the eastbound side and Wednesday on the westbound side, beginning at 8 p.m.

This is the third phase of a five-phase effort to replace bridge joints across all lanes of travel. Traffic patterns will continue to be modified every two to three weeks through mid-July.
