Good afternoon,
Starting Friday, January 22, we’ll shift all travel lanes to the south side of the Henderson Bridge in East Providence and Providence, so we can begin demolition and reconstruction of its northern side. The change will be in place for approximately two years.

Learn more here. Please see below for information on construction activities next week.

Henderson Bridge, East Providence/Providence
We recently completed the temporary ramp and sidewalks from the bridge to South Angell Street in Providence and temporary sidewalks and wheelchair ramps on Massasoit Avenue in East Providence. We also installed temporary traffic signals on the East Providence side of the bridge and shifted traffic with a single lane of travel in each direction on Massasoit Avenue North and South.
 
Activities planned for next week include completing the barrier installation on both the Henderson Bridge and the Henderson Expressway and project-wide striping. The next traffic phase shift will start Friday morning, January 22 and continue throughout the day until it is in place.
