A stretch of Route 95 in Providence will be closed for 13 nights, beginning Sunday, as the state Department of Transportation puts a new overpass in place. Motorists driving in, out and through the city will be rerouted.

The DOT's contractors will be installing heavy steel beams over the highway to support ramps that will make up part of the new Route 95-Route 195 interchange. It's not safe to drive underneath while the work is going on.

What nights will the highway be closed? All lanes of the highway will be closed in one or both directions Sunday through Thursday nights from April 29 through May 15.

From the south: You'll be sent off the highway at Exit 18 (Thurbers Avenue, south of downtown). From there, the DOT will post a detour north on Allens Avenue and onto other city streets, rejoining Route 95 at the Providence Place mall. The detour also links with Route 195 East.

Coming from the north, you need to make a decision and be alert. If you're headed farther south, take Exit 22B to Route 10. If you stay on Route 95 south, you will be sent off the exit to Route 195 East.
