PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Department of Transportation said it would temporarily close Elmwood Avenue at the Route 10 overpass on Oct. 17 for bridge work.

The closure will affect both sides of traffic and begins at 11 p.m.

The closure will last until approximately 2 p.m. on Oct. 18.

RIDOT said the following detours will be put in place:

Elmwood Avenue Northbound: Use Park Avenue eastbound, turn right onto Route 10 northbound, and take the Elmwood Avenue exit.
