Good afternoon,
As Sunday is Halloween, and more pedestrians will be out on the roads, be extra mindful of trick-or-treaters. 
Be aware, drive with care and please slow down.  |

| Bridge Group 1, Providence |

| Bridge Group 32, Cranston/Providence |

|   |

| Overnight closures of the bridge ramps from Route 10 South to I-95 North and I-95 North to Route 10 North may be required, Sunday-Thursday nights from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. for concrete placement. Please follow signed detours. Ongoing repairs at both bridges will require overnight and weekday alternating lane closures in both directions of I-95 at the Route 10 overpass. Motorists can anticipate weekday alternating lane closures on Elmwood Avenue under I-95 for micropile installation in advance of our replacement of the Elmwood Avenue Bridge next summer.  |

| East Bay Bike Path Bridges, Barrington/Warren |

|   |

| Temporary Bike Path
Weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., RIDOT is providing police details and flaggers to make sure children crossing to go to school can do so safely at the designated crosswalks at both the Barrington and Warren bridges. In addition, we will have police details in place this Sunday to assist Halloween trick-or-treaters with crossing both bridges from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Motorists should expect alternating one-way traffic on Route 114, from Sowams Road to Crescent Road, for removal of the two-bar railing at the Warren Bridge, Sunday and Monday nights from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. During daytime hours behind barrier, we will continue to assemble safety rail and begin building the boardwalk flooring at the Barrington Bridge. 
Long-Term Plan
We are preparing the final scope of work for the RFP and working with National Grid to reduce the scope of their utility work. Once we have reached an agreement with National Grid, we will be ready to send out the RFP.   |
