, Cranston and north

Old signage NB at Exit 16 and on the ramp. SB 10 is signed as US 1 because there is no NB Exit 15 (see below for why that makes sense), but it should still also say RI 10 to RI 12.


SB signage for Exit 16, finishing up on the ramp as well.


Heading NB, we run into first another old sign (with a black shield background just like NJ), and then... one of three button-copy BGS locations left in Providence! (The others are on RI 10 and the Henderson Bridge.) Notice the 900 FEET distance to the exit (fairly odd), as well as the fact that the EXIT 18 tab is not what was originally up there. The last sign isn't unusual at all, and yet manages to be non-new.

SB on I-95 in the vicinity of the above picture. Clearly older and newer freeway are meeting here.


One NB and one SB sign for the beginning of I-195. There is currently construction underway to move this freeway and associated interchange farther to the south, onto a truly Interstate-standard highway, and over a new bridge instead of the dilapidated Washington. Visit the I-195 page (link at bottom) to see construction of the new alignment.


Construction extends to the current exit, with a nice new 2di shield here on I-95 NB in September 2005.


Old bridge labels, SB south of Exit 29.


Back on I-95, these temporary signs were up along the Mixed-Up Mile for quite awhile (see commentary on that Mile on the main page, linked below).


Same thing in the SB direction, too.


Just upon entering the state from MA, there's a nice old assembly waiting to greet you.
