Reply to comment by Silentjosh37 in Drivers reminded not to slow down at new lane split on I-195 by MusicNerdDavid

This has made traffic the absolute worst I’ve ever seen it heading into Providence from seekonk/East Providence. It’s better to just avoid the high way all together I can’t imagine what it would be like in the event of an accident or emergency vehicles trying to get through.

Yesterday morning... hours after the accident was cleared the traffic was backed up well into Swansea. Causing an hour long+ ride.

Combine this with all the stuff they see doing on 95 near the mall and the clusterfuck that is 146 and 6/10 every artery connected to Providence has a massive project going on. As well as changes to every alternate route. Can't avoid 195 properly as they have closed a small bridge that cuts off the only viable alternate route. This 195 project should have been worked on at the same time as the overpasses were being done. Instead they fucked up traffic for two years, let it be for six months then started working in the same area again.

Someone needs to start reviewing what is going on.

Edited to add: there is also major construction going on over on the red bridge as well.
