I-195 traffic pattern change to take effect

PROVIDENCE (AP) — A traffic pattern change on Interstate 195 in Providence will take effect this week due to maintenance work on the Iway Bridge.

The the work has resulted in a divided highway around the work zone. Drivers heading east over the bridge Monday morning will find only one lane to the left of the split and three to the right of it.

Drivers who are traveling west into Providence will experience that change on Tuesday morning.

Lanes were closed Sunday night to rearrange the pattern and will be closed again on Monday night for the other side of the highway.
