Construction Updates

Here's the latest on the various City-led construction projects currently underway around town. Please note that work initiated by State and private utility contractors may not be reflected below. 


Hillside Avenue Safe Routes to School Project
  • Construction is pending. 
  • LAL Construction company is reconstructing the sidewalks along Hillside Avenue from Bedlow Avenue to Admiral Kalbfus Road plus making other minor sidewalk improvements from Admiral Kalbfus Road to Maple Avenue.  New pavement striping will add bike lanes and other traffic & pedestrian safety improvements will be completed.    
  • Though access to properties will be maintained, there will be some inconveniences as driveways are replaced, sidewalks are poured, and the road is repaved. 
  • Parking may be restricted during the working week generally from 7 AM to 4 PM.
  • Please cut back your vegetation and remove any objects on the sidewalks, shoulders, and within the City's right-of-way.
 
Roadway Improvements 2023
  • Construction is ongoing. 
  • LAL Construction company is reconstructing the following roadways Ledyard Street (ongoing), Caswell Avenue (ongoing), Freeborn Street (ongoing), Vernon Avenue (ongoing), Appleby Street (ongoing), Sanford Street (ongoing), Annandale Terrace (ongoing), Meikle Avenue (ongoing), Earl Avenue (ongoing), and Grafton Street (ongoing).  The Bragga Park (Kay Street) Parking Lot (completed) and Recreation Department ("The Hut") Parking Lot (completed)  will also be paved.    
  • Though access to properties will be maintained, there will be some inconveniences as driveways are replaced, sidewalks are poured, and the road is repaved. 
  • Parking may be restricted during the working week generally from 7 AM to 4 PM.
  • Roads and sidewalks in poor condition will be replaced in-kind with the same types of materials.  Existing bluestone curbing will be reset and deteriorated concrete curbing will be replaced with granite per ordinance.  Pavement markings (e.g., stop bars) and signs will be improved. 
  • Please cut back your vegetation and remove any objects on the sidewalks, shoulders, and within the City's right-of-way.

Spring Street - Touro Street Traffic Signal Improvement Project
  • Construction is ongoing. 
  • RICON Construction company is reconstructing the sidewalks within the Spring Street/Touro Street intersection area.  The traffic and pedestrian signals will also be replaced.
  • INTERSECTION ROAD CLOSURE TOURO/SPRING: Thursday & Friday, June 15 and 16th, during working hours.
  • Though access to properties will be maintained, there will be some inconveniences as driveways are replaced, sidewalks are poured, and the road is repaved. 
  • Parking may be restricted during the working week generally from 7 AM to 4 PM.
  • Roads and sidewalks in poor condition will be replaced in-kind with the same types of materials.  Pavement markings (e.g., stop bars) and signs will be improved. 
  • Please cut back your vegetation and remove any objects on the sidewalks, shoulders, and within the City's right-of-way.

​​Broadway (Friendship Street to Bliss Road) Traffic Signal and Pedestrian Improvements
  • Construction is ongoing. 
  • Cardi Corporation has finished installing the traffic signals.  Remaining minor items of work including pavement markings and adjacent roadway sidewalk replacement will be completed.  Businesses and sidewalks will be open, however, parking will be restricted in the immediate area during working hours as required.  
  • Signage improvements have also been completed from Marlborough Street to Cranston Street. 
  • Parking may be restricted during the working week from 7 AM to 4 PM
​

Pavement Marking Improvements
  • Construction is ongoing. 
  • ​Road yellow center line striping, crosswalks, stop bars, and other pavement markings will be repainted throughout the city.  Because this work requires large areas of the City and negatively impacts traffic flow, the vast majority of the work occurs overnight (8 pm to 6 am).  This work is ongoing and paint application is highly weather dependent (e.g., wet streets and cold weather prohibits paint installation).    

 

Pell Bridge Ramp Realignment 

Please note that crews from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation are currently working on Phase 2 of the Pell Bridge Realignment project.
