SR141/I-95 Ramp Improvement Project
April 23, 2018

The contractor, Mumford & Miller Inc., continues to widen the roadway on SR141 southbound and northbound on the closed side of the roadway. They are setting beams for the new SR 141 northbound bridge and building the concrete deck on SR 141 southbound bridge. They are constructing the Exit 5 ramp from I295 northbound to SR141 northbound. They are working on installing utility infrastructure through the SR141 and I95 northbound corridor. The contractor is also working to construct the shoulder and barrier on I95 northbound and installing pipe and drainage outlets on SR141 northbound and in the I-95/I-295 Northbound median.

LANE CLOSURES:

Motorists should expect traffic on SR141 southbound and northbound to be reduced to one lane in the construction area during the hours of 9a.m. to 3p.m., Monday thru Friday.

Ramp Exit 5B (NB I-295 to NB SR141/Newport) remains closed until spring 2018. Motorists traveling to northbound SR141/Newport should use Exit 5.
