RIDOT to shift lanes on I-95 and Route 4 in Warwick and East Greenwich

WARWICK, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Department of Transportation said it will shift lanes on Interstate 95 and Route 4 in Warwick and East Greenwich starting Nov. 7.

RIDOT said the shifts will allow the construction of two critical ramps that were not included when Route 4 was built in the 1960s.

Changes will be as follows between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.:

Nov. 7 and Nov. 8:

  • I-95 South between Exit 24B (Route 4 South) and 24A (Route 2 South), all lanes shifted to the left.
  • The right lane drop and merge prior to Exit 24A will be shifted slightly so drivers encounter it approximately 1,500 feet sooner than its current location.
  • Shoulders will be closed with barriers along the I-95 South Route 24A ramp to Route 2 South, and the ramp from Route 2 South to I-95 South.

Nov. 14 Nov. 15:

  • I-95 North after Exit 24B (Route 2 North), all lanes shifted to the left.
  • Route 4 South, on the ramp from I-95 South to Exit 9 (Division Street), all lanes shifted to the left.

RIDOT also said additional lane changes will be needed in spring 2026.
