Future I-195 at I-95

All photos taken southbound.


I'm merging into I-95 SB from I-195 WB. As you can see, this is a left merge, and it happens right in the center of Providence. This is why the interchange is being reconstructed to the south, with all right-hand ramps for added driver comfort. To the right in this photo is the future SB-EB ramp, just starting to take shape in September 2007.


Following the SB-EB ramp, which in the third photo has crossed I-95 and continues east. The girders have yet to be laid over I-95 or east to the future Providence River bridge as of September 2007. To the left in the first photo are the WB-SB and NB-EB ramps.


The WB-SB ramp from I-195 fares somewhat better, as it already has all of its girders in place. The ramp splits as you can see in the second photo, with one local access ramp and the left high-speed ramp onto I-95.


Following the ramp from I-195, which looks almost ready to open. That's not an illusion - the I-95 NB ramp to I-195 EB, across the new bridge, is going to be open by the time you read this, even though construction won't be completed until 2009 (and then there's the matter of demolition of the old freeway and rebuilding the city).
