Project Update 07-24-2026

In-water construction continues at this project during daytime hours. Crews also are continuing work on establishing a construction platform in the river on the Providence shoreline to support foundation work.

We are installing 32 drilled shafts that will form the foundation of the new bridge. Each shaft will extend approximately 130 feet to bedrock, creating a support system for the bridge’s piers and abutments. Vibration and noise monitoring as well as erosion control are in place.

Next week on Tuesday night, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. we’re scheduled to close the right lane on I-195 East, from Exit 2C to the Mass. line for drainage structure repairs. On Thursday night, we need to close the right lane on the Washington Bridge, from Exit 1A to Exit 1B/C for electrical work, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

In August, we’re scheduled to close the right lane on I-195 West, from Broadway to the Washington Bridge for brush cutting along the embankment, Tuesday night, August 4, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. We’ll then return the following week on Tuesday night, August 11, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., to perform the same operation on I-195 East, from the Washington Bridge to Exit 2C.
