PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Construction work on the Providence I-Way project will cause lane closures for motorists on Interstate 95 this week.

Department of Transportation officials say the highway work will take place between the exits for Thurbers Avenue and Interstate 195.

On Sunday and Monday nights, road crews were scheduled to be working on the northbound lanes of the highway. By 11 p.m., only one lane of traffic will be open.

More lane closures are expected Tuesday through Thursday, when work is planned for the southbound lanes. The ramp between Interstate 195 West and Interstate 95 South will be closed during this period. Detours will be marked.
