WARWICK, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Department of Transportation said there will be lane closures on both directions of Route 113 over I-95 and I-295 starting on Feb. 21.

During construction, the left lanes in both directions of Route 113 will be closed.

The traffic pattern is expected to be in place until the middle of spring, which will then mark the start of the demolition and reconstruction of the other side of the bridge
