On Friday night, August 1, the Rhode Island Department Transportation (RIDOT) will shift all travel lanes to the left for road work where I-95 North and Route 4 North merge in Warwick. The change represents the second phase on a project to widen the highway corridor to provide more space for merging traffic, which will help decrease congestion during the morning and evening rush hours. Currently, all lanes are shifted to the right at this location.
All travel lanes will remain open during peak travel times, but they will be narrowed and drivers should reduce their speed in the work zone. Lane closures are likely during late evening and overnight hours (Sunday-Thursday nights, 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.).
The lane shift will be in place until mid-October, when the lane shifts are removed and the highway is repaved.
This new safety improvement is part of a $12.4 million project that also included the installation of guardrail in several locations along six miles of I-95 North and South between Exit 18 (Route 3) and Exit 24 (Route 2).
All construction projects are subject to changes in schedule and scope depending on needs, circumstances, findings, and weather.
