Traffic Shifts Coming to Route 37 Over Power Road in Cranston

Starting July 17, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation is scheduled to shift lanes to the left on Route 37 West, just before Exit 1D in Cranston, according to a media release.

"This will create a work zone on this side of the highway for continued demolition of the bridge carrying Route 37 over Power Road," the release said.

About a month later, Route 37 East lanes over Power Road will shift to the left to create a work zone on that side of the highway as Route 37 West returns to its original configuration, according to the release.

"RIDOT does not expect these upcoming traffic pattern changes to create any delays but encourages drivers to slow down and reduce their speed through the work zones," the release said.
