Updated: All I-95 Lanes Re-Opened Per State Police

SCITUATE, RI—More than 70 crashes have clogged the roads today, according to the Rhode Island State Police.

The southbound lanes of I-95 approaching Exit 7 have been re-opened. They had been closed, due to tractor trailer trucks which are blocking the road.

Rhode Island State Police continue to urge motorists to stay off the roads if at all possible. However, no major injuries have been reported, due to the snow.

The southbound lanes of Interstate 95 between Exit 2 and 3 in Richmond and Hopkinton have reopened, however traffic remains slow.

Another tractor-trailer truck incident blocked a section of Interstate 295 North at Exit 9, however that road remained open to traffic and the truck was cleared from travel lanes.

High winds and limited visibility continue to make travel on the Newport and Jamestown bridges treacherous. General road conditions throughout the state are reported to be poor, given that plows are struggling to keep up with the steady, blowing snow.

Motorists are strongly encouraged to stay off the highway to allow plows to get the roadways clear and keep them open for traffic.
