Route 95 S lanes reopen after nighttime closure

PROVIDENCE – The second round of nighttime closures of Route 95 for the Route 95-195 interchange project seem to have begun without a hitch.

The state Department of Transportation reports that Route 95 southbound lanes closed as planned last night, around 11:20 p.m., and reopened at 4:40 a.m. today, nearly an hour before promised.

As the DOT launches its second phase this year of Route 95 overnight closures, department spokeswoman Dana Alexander Nolfe has said all work is weather-dependent.

Route 95 southbound lanes are expected to close again tonight and tomorrow by 11 p.m. – with individual lane closures starting by 8 p.m. The lanes are expected to reopen by 5:30 a.m.

The last night of the work this week – Thursday – is expected to shutter the northbound and southbound lanes. Check out the road-closure schedule on the DOT’s site.
