RIDOT says lane shifts coming to East Greenwich, Warwick

EAST GREENWICH, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Department of Transportation said that there will be lane shifts in East Greenwich and Warwick on Friday night.

RIDOT said it will temporarily reduce the number of travel lanes from two to one in each direction on Frenchtown Road where it passes over Route 4 in East Greenwich.

The following detours will be in place:

Frenchtown Road westbound to Davisville Road and Devil’s Foot Road: The Devil’s Foot Road Bridge, east of the Old Baptist Road/Davisville Road intersection, remains closed for reconstruction. For those heading to points east of the bridge closure, signed detours will direct them to use Post Road (Route 1) to Devil’s Foot Road. For those heading to points west of the bridge closure, the detour route uses Post Road to Route 403 West to Frenchtown Road eastbound, where drivers can make a right onto Davisville Road.

Frenchtown Road eastbound to Route 4 North: Remain on Frenchtown Road for approximately half-a-mile and use the second left-lane jughandle to reverse direction onto Frenchtown Road westbound to reach the on-ramp.

The traffic alteration will be in place until January 2026.

All travel lanes on Intestate 95 North to the left near the Route 37/Jefferson Boulevard service road will be shifted in Warwick.

The service road will also be affected.

RIDOT said that all lanes, off-ramps, and on-ramps will remain open, but lanes will be narrowed.

The shift will be in place through the fall.
