Route 146, Lincoln/ North Smithfield
 

 
 

Our focus this week will be overnight steel installation which will involve temporary road closures, rolling roadblocks, and lane closures Monday-Wednesday nights from midnight to 6 a.m. On Monday night, we need to close Route 146 South and its Service Road, between Route 99 and Route 116. On Tuesday night, a rolling roadblock will be set up on both directions of Route 146, between Route 99 and Route 116, and on Wednesday night, we need to close Route 146 North and have a rolling roadblock, between Route 116 and Route 99. Please follow signed detours. On Sunday-Thursday nights from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., we will also take alternating lanes on I-295, from Route 7 to Route 122, and on the Route 146 North Service Roads, from Route 116 to Route 99, Monday-Thursday nights from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

 

Again, no full closures or rolling roadblocks will take place until after midnight, when traffic volumes are lowest.



Meanwhile, Sayles Hill Road westbound traffic at Route 146 remains detoured for daytime drainage work, weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and alternating lane closures are scheduled for road construction on Route 146, from Route 146A to the Massachusetts line, weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
