Travel Advisory: RIDOT to Open New Ramp From Route 1 (Post Road) North to Route 37 West Friday Night, September 11

On Friday night, September 11, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) is scheduled to open a new ramp from Route 1 (Post Road) North to Route 37 West in Warwick. At the same time, RIDOT will close the existing, looping on-ramp to Route 37 from Route 1 northbound. This change is necessary for the continued demolition of the bridge carrying Route 37 over Post Road.

Northbound motorists along Route 1, heading from T.F. Green International Airport to I-95, will go past the old ramp and take a left at a temporary signal RIDOT has built to provide access to Route 37 West. RIDOT encourages motorists to reduce speed and drive carefully through the new intersection as they become accustomed to the change.

RIDOT is rebuilding the entire interchange to allow all traffic to get on and off Route 37 using traffic signals instead of the old ramp and bridge configuration. Once all permanent signals are in place and activated within this corridor, they will be synchronized from the Airport to Elmwood Avenue.

All construction projects are subject to changes in schedule and scope depending on needs, circumstances, findings and weather.
