The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) has announced a lane reduction on the Eddy Street Bridge starting Monday, July 28. Traffic will be limited to one lane on the bridge that spans I-95, with an alternating traffic pattern for both northbound and southbound directions. This change is part of ongoing work on the bridge, which has been rated as structurally deficient.
The lane reduction is a component of the I-95 15 Bridges project. This initiative aims to address 15 bridges along I-95 and Route 10 between Providence and Warwick that are in poor or fair-to-poor condition. Among these, nine bridges are classified as structurally deficient, including three that rank among the top five most-traveled structurally deficient bridges in Rhode Island.
RIDOT noted that construction schedules and project scopes may change based on various factors such as needs, circumstances, findings, and weather conditions. The project is supported by RhodeWorks. More information can be found at www.ridot.net/RhodeWorks.
