East Providence Announces Three-Year Road Work Project

EAST PROVIDENCE, RI — The City of East Providence has announced a three-year plan to repair the city's roads. Construction on the first phase will begin in mid-April in the area of Taylor Drive.

"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."
