WEST WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) — The Providence Street Bridge over I-295 in West Warwick will be closed from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) says motorists should use a signed detour via Route 2 and East Avenue on those nights.

Crews are working to replace the bridge, which was originally built in 1968 and carries about 10,500 vehicles every day. RIDOT says the entire project is slated to be finished this spring.

The project’s schedule could change depending on circumstances and the weather.
