Nighttime bridge closures to return to Warwick

WARWICK, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Department of Transportation said nighttime closures will return to short sections of Interstate 95 and Interstate 295 on July 17 for reconstruction of bridges that span these highways East Avenue in Warwick.

The closures will be in place from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night.

The bridges are located at Exit 28 (Route 113 East and West) and the bridge over I-295 after Exit 1A (Route 113 West).

RIDOT said the closures will follow the following schedule:

  • July 17 and July 20: I-95 South will be closed after Exit 28B (I-295 North). Follow I-295 North and take Exit 3B to Route 37 West. Follow signs to I-295 South to return to I-95 South.
  • July 21 and July 22: I-95 North will be closed at Exit 28A (I-295). Stay on I-295 North to Exit 3A (Route 37 East) and proceed to the I-95 interchange to access I-95 North. For those seeking access to Rhode Island TF Green International Airport, follow these directions but use I-95 South to Exit 29 to the Airport Connector.
  • July 27 and July 28: I-295 North will be closed at Exit 28A. Stay on I-95 North to Exit 31B (Route 37 West), then take the I-295 North exit ramp.
