PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Department of Transportation postponed the traffic change on Interstate 95 in Providence until after the holidays.

The work on 95 north after the Downtown exit and near Providence Place Mall was originally set for Friday, Dec. 1.

“Due to construction delays, the contractor decided to hold off on making this change until after the holidays,” RIDOT Director Peter Alviti said.

“If we get a period of warmer temperatures and have the opportunity to make the change early in the new year, we will. The contractor will be working with our Project Management staff to mitigate any schedule impacts to the overall project and make up the time in future phases of the project,” he said.

Alviti noted that all construction projects are dependent on weather and scheduling.
