The Exit 28/School Street off-ramp from Route 95 north will be closed this Sunday from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The state Department of Transportation will be boring soil near the Pawtucket River Bridge; the closure should help make the area safer for workers.

The boring is one of the first steps toward designing a replacement for the Pawtucket River Bridge

The bridge is currently off limits to heavy trucks because of deterioration in its support system.

A detour will direct driver to the George Street/Downtown exit and onto School Street via Division Street.

This phase of soil boring is expected to end by Friday, Feb. 29.
