RIDOT to open ramps, bridges, service roads

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Department of Transportation said it will be opening two highway ramps, a new service road and two bridges connecting city streets on Aug. 30.

RIDOT said the openings are part of the Route 6/10 Interchange project and will include:

• A new off-ramp from Route 10 North to Westminster Street
• A new on-ramp to Route 10 South from Westminster Street
• The new Tobey Street Bridge, which carries Tobey Street over Routes 6 and 10, linking it to Harris Avenue. It will now be a two-way road across the highway, connecting Harris Avenue to Broadway.
• The new Harris Avenue Bridge, which crosses over Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor and Harris Avenue
• A new service road on the western side of the interchange that provides improved access to Routes 6 and 10 from both the Federal Hill and Olneyville neighborhoods, intersecting Tobey Street, Broadway and Westminster Street.
