Full update from RIDOT;
We recently shifted barrier in advance of paving on both directions of Route 138 from the Eastern end of the Pell Bridge to the Connector Road. Weather permitting, we are scheduled to mill then pave several roadway segments within this project starting Sunday night, May 5. They include Route 138 East up to Admiral Kalbfus Road, Admiral Kalbfus Road, including the roundabout and JT Connell Highway toward Van Zandt and America’s Cup avenues, and Route 138 West back toward the Pell Bridge. Motorists can anticipate alternating lane closures for these operations on Sunday-Thursday nights from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. through Friday morning, May 24.
Other operations next week at this project will include daytime maintenance of drainage swales and installation of loam and seed sitewide. Additionally, we’ll be working on the newly installed traffic cabinets and lighting signals, with minimal traffic impacts anticipated.
