Specifications include, but are not limited to: The project (the "Project") includes rehabilitating and partially widening the superstructure of the Washington Bridge No. 700 and the Gano Street off-ramp; restriping the I-195 westbound mainline between Broadway in East Providence and the Washington Bridge to maintain four (4) lanes throughout the corridor, eliminating the current lane drop; adding an exit ramp to connect I-195 westbound to Waterfront Drive in East Providence; and constructing a new bridge to carry traffic from Gano Street to I-195 westbound (Gano St. on-ramp). These infrastructure improvements will be undertaken to restore structural sufficiency and to alleviate chronic traffic congestion on Interstate 195 from the Massachusetts state line to the South Main Street exit. The Project includes partial demolition and rehabilitation of selected bridges, construction of new bridges, roadway reconstruction, retaining wall construction and other associated work. The bridges and retaining walls will be as required to support the proposed roadway layouts required for the final highway design.
