CRANSTON, R.I. — A Route 10 ramp closure in Cranston is heavily impacting Monday’s commute after debris from a Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) construction project fell onto the train tracks.
The on-ramp from Route 10 north to Interstate 95 north remains closed after part of the structure broke loose and fell onto the rail line below. Officials are urging drivers to plan ahead and expect delays.
Ramp closure expected to impact commute
Transportation officials said the closure will likely cause congestion during peak travel hours, especially for drivers who rely on the Route 10 to I-95 north connection.
Drivers are being advised to seek alternate routes and allow extra travel time as detours remain in place.
Ongoing repairs after structural issue
Crews continue to assess the damage after concrete and steel fell from the ramp onto the tracks below.
The incident also disrupted train service in the area, and repairs are still underway to restore full operations.
What drivers should expect
Officials have not provided a timeline for when the ramp will reopen.
Until then, commuters should expect heavier traffic in the surrounding area as drivers adjust to detours and lane changes.
