 | 
| Good afternoon,
We’re breaking ground on a new project next week. It will not only improve the severely deteriorated pavement conditions, but also address ongoing drainage concerns on Birch Swamp Road and Schoolhouse Road in Warren. Learn more here. |

| Bridge Group 32, Cranston/Providence |

| Broad Street Regeneration, Pawtucket/Central Falls/Cumberland  |

|   |

| Weekday advanced utility work is planned along Broad Street in Cumberland next week. Alternating one-way traffic, narrowed lanes and partial road closures are possible from Titus Street to Elizabeth Street. Please follow signed detours. We will also continue curbing and sidewalk installation from Elizabeth Street to Dexter Street. In addition, traffic signal work is scheduled at various Broad Street intersections, including with Goff and Exchange streets in Pawtucket, with Cross, Fales, Hunt and High streets in Central Falls, and with Dexter Street and Ann & Hope Way in Cumberland. Frequent vehicle access in/out of the work zones with driveway/walkway and parking restrictions are expected. |

| Henderson Bridge, East Providence/Providence |

|   |

| Next week at this bridge project, we plan to continue daytime excavation, then demolition at the west abutment, backfilling for the new roadway connecting Waterfront Drive to Massasoit Avenue, drainage work on Waterfront Drive and pile driving at the east abutment. We need to close East River Street on Monday for steel demolition over the water. Please follow signed detour and check our Weekly Traffic Forecast for any other possible impacts to motorists. |

| I-95 North Viaduct, Providence |

|   |

| Overnight steel removal of the old I-95 South Viaduct bridge, which is dependent upon Amtrak personnel availability, is scheduled next week. This work will require the closure of Exit 22 off I-95 North and the on-ramp from Memorial Boulevard to I-95 South. Overnight bridge deck repairs for the existing I-95 North Viaduct bridge will also necessitate the closure of the on-ramp from Atwells Avenue to I-95 North. We also need to close Providence Place, from Harris Avenue to Park Street, and Promenade Street, from Park Street to Holden Street, for sewer work. Please follow signed detours during all closures. Other scheduled activities, involving lane closures on I-95 and Route 146, respectively, will involve median drainage and barrier work and excavation prior to installation of the new abutment at the Route 146 Ramp Bridge. |

| Kingston Road Bridge, Richmond |

|   |

| After removing barrier this past Tuesday night to make room for the crushed stone that we have been installing weekdays in the median, next week at this project we are scheduled to continue with that operation, in addition to installing signs, concrete sidewalk, and drainage. The existing lane shifts on I-95 North and South at Exit 3, ramp narrowing at Exit 3, and lane shifts and shoulder closures on Route 138 East and West remain as motorists travel through this area. |

| Louisquisset Pike Bridge, Lincoln |

|   |

| Now that the Route 146 South Bridge deck and approach slabs have been poured, next week at this project, we are scheduled to form parapets, end posts and drainage structures abutting the approach areas. This will require a weekday left lane closure on both directions of Route 116 at the bridge. |

| Pell Bridge Ramps Phase 2, Newport |

|   |

| Next week at this project, crews will be working on JT Connell Highway South rebuilding the existing drainage structures along the edge of the roadway. We will also be installing electric conduit and structures within the sidewalk and bike path. Once this work is complete, we’ll begin to install the vertical granite curbing. Excavation of the existing curb and sidewalks will begin on JT Connell Highway north of the rotary, behind the curb line without interfering with daily traffic patterns. Excavation of the existing median will also continue behind barrier on Route 138. Police and flaggers remain at Route 138 and JT Connell Highway south of the rotary to direct traffic as necessary. |

| Route 6/10 Interchange Reconstruction, Providence |

|   |

| We’ll have weekday alternating lane closures on both directions of Route 10 as our operations continue next week at this project. We plan to stripe Route 10 South in the area of the Broadway and Westminster Street overpasses to prepare for the lane shift to the left, which is anticipated by the end of the week. We are also scheduled to install fence on top of the Route 10 North to Route 6 West flyover bridge parapets, and storm drainage at the Broadway off ramp and along the Route 10 median.  |
