Get ready for some lane closures in Little Compton and Tiverton next week. The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) is kicking off pavement improvements and drainage work from December 8-14, 2024.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Little Compton: Expect alternating lane closures on South of Commons Road (from Commons Road to Brownell Road) and on East Main Road and Simmons Road (from Willow Avenue to Peckham Road).
- Tiverton: Fish Road (from Bulgarmarsh Road to Beth Road) and Souza Road (from Fish Road to Main Road) will see similar closures.
Work hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. RIDOT crews will be busy installing loam and fixing up drainage swales along these routes.
If you’re driving through these areas, plan for some extra travel time or consider taking a different route during work hours. Stay safe out there!
