Location, location, location is the mantra of successful real estate. For the city of Providence, R.I., the new mantra is relocation. The relocation of Interstate 195 to make way for the $610 million IWAY bridge and highway project through downtown Providence, has opened up nearly 20 acres of prime saleable land along the Providence River, a boon for a city and state that has flirted with bankruptcy each of the last three years. The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), two general contractors and as many as two dozen
sub-contractors are now rebuilding the infrastructure and several connecting and surrounding city streets in the footprint of the former I-195. RIDOT began the demolition of the old highway in 2010, removing more than 3,500 ft. (1,066.8 m) of the three-lane road, which was built in the late 1950s and officially closed in late 2009. Another 1,500 ft. (457.2 m) of old highway was taken down through other contracts associated with the I-195 relocation. The project has changed the landscape of Providence and has addressed a wide range of issues, including safety, aging infrastructure, traffic congestion and economic development. see IWAY page 4
