RIDOT to Close Portions of Route 6 in Prov for Woonsquatucket River Bridge Work

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) announced that portions of Route 6 in Providence will be closed on due to work on the Woonsquatucket River Bridge.

“These temporary closures are needed to safely remove bridge beams at the $10.8 million Woonasquatucket River Bridge project. RIDOT chose these closure times because traffic volumes are very low,” writes RIDOT.

RIDOT adds that they do not expect significant congestion during the closures
