Route 146 to I-295 ramp in Lincoln set to close Friday | ABC6
LINCOLN, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Department of Transportation plans to close the on-ramp from Route 146 North to I-295 South in Lincoln on Friday night.
RIDOT said the closure will occur from 10 p.m. Friday until the end of the year due to continued construction on the bridge that carries I-295 South over Route 146.
Officials added that drivers can remain on Route 146 North and take the exit for Route 99 as an alternate route, reversing direction at the Sayles Hill Road interchange toward Route 146 South and the I-295 South exit.
A lane shift will also be in place for drivers on I-295 South at Route 146, at which point through traffic will stay left.
RIDOT said anyone taking the exit to Route 146 South should stay right before the interchange and be prepared to take the exit earlier than usual.
The closure was originally scheduled for April 5 after being postponed from March 22 due to inclement weather.
