City of East Providence announces roadway improvement plan

East Providence, RI – The City of East Providence has announced the first phase of a three-year roadway improvement plan.

“The city will begin the process of much needed improvements to city’s streets and roadways,” Mayor Bob DaSilva said. “The process of our roadway improvement plan will commence this month and we are asking that the community be patient during this multi-year process.”

The East Providence Department of Public Works will be working with paving contractor, Pawtucket Hot Mix Asphalt on the roadway improvement process. The city has coordinated with National Grid to be sure improvements begin after the company has completed its own work on city streets.

Paving in the Taylor Drive area will begin mid-April and the city will provide regular project updates once PHMA mobilizes in the city and gets working.

Under DPW Director Stephen Coutu’s direction, the city’s DPW crew, together with PHMA, will begin improvements to the roadways listed below.
