Gino DeAngelis,

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Department of Transportation said that Devil’s Foot Road Bridge in North Kingstown will be closed from May 16 until late in the Fall for replacement of the bridge’s superstructure.

During the closure of the bridge, which is located between School Street and the Davisville Road/Old Baptist Road intersection, the following detours will be in place:

  • From Post Road to Frenchtown Road: Use Devil’s Foot Road eastbound to Post Road northbound. Use the turnaround for Route 1 South to Frenchtown Road westbound.
  • Frenchtown Road to Post Road: Follow Frenchtown Road eastbound to Route 1 South to its intersection with Devil’s Foot Road.
  • Local Traffic on Devil’s Foot Road (east of the closed bridge) to Frenchtown Road: Use the on-ramp at West Davisville Road to Route 403 West toward Route 4. Use the ramp to Route 4 South, then take Exit 7A for Frenchtown Road.
  • Local Traffic on Devil’s Foot Road (west of the closed bridge) to Post Road: Follow Davisville Road westbound to Frenchtown Road, turn right, then right again onto Post Road southbound.

RIDOT added that the entire project is scheduled for completion in Spring 2027.
