Everything that would have been paved in the complete interchange is currently semi-graded dirt.


All the overpasses are in place; it is unlikely they'll ever be demolished, as the dirt trails are too well-maintained to be completely useless (probably ATV trails now).


Drainage for the proposed EB-NB flyover ramp. This is on the near abutment (on the south side of US 6); you can make out the far abutment in the background.


The first two pictures are views of where the EB US 6 ramp would have split for NB (a flyover that would have connected to the current WB-NB ramp) and SB I-295 traffic. The third picture is from the WB-NB movement that currently carries US 6, showing where the EB-NB flyover would have come into the WB-NB ramp; you can see the current NB-WB ramp (used as a U-turn) in the background.

The US 6 freeway was supposed to have been part of I-84 between Hartford and Providence; there is more information about this on the CT I-84 page. There was also the possibility of an I-84 freeway through the middle of the RI 10 loop, tying in with I-195, but later plans had it multiplexed with or taking over the north part of RI 10 as US 6 does now, and ending at I-95.


Grading from I-295 SB for the ramp that would have come from US 6 (I-84) EB.


Coming into the interchange from US 6 WB and continuing to I-295 SB (note that there is a BGS for this forced movement, visible on the US 6 page).
