Getting Around...
Transportation
The greater Providence metro is connected by two major interstate highways — I-95 and I-195. I-195 cuts through the middle of the city, separating downtown and the East Side from the West and South side of Providence. Each highway has several exits leading into downtown and other neighborhoods of the city.
Route 146 and Route 6 are also entry and exit channels from Providence. Route 146 leads north towards Woonsocket, while Route 6 travels west to the I-295 junction (or south via Route 10 to join I-95 in Cranston).
Due to its early settlements and urban planning development, Providence is not organized in a “grid system”, which means getting around here takes a little practice (even for a small city). South Main Street and North Main Street connect downtown, the East Side, and the Mount Hope sections of Providence.
The West Side connects to downtown via series of street bridges (Westminster, Broadway, Atwells, Smith Street, and Branch Avenue). The South Side of Providence connects from the West End to Cranston via Elmwood Ave, Cranston Street, and Broad Street.
Kennedy Plaza Station is the central hub of RIPTA in Providence. There are many buses picking up and dropping off here daily which travel through every neighborhood of Providence. To see a full schedule, visit their website
Providence Train Station services both the MBTA commuter rail to Boston and AMTRAK lines. It’s located downtown across the street from the Providence Place Mall and Rhode Island State House. Trains run daily from 5:00 a.m. to midnight. If you’re in a hurry, the Acela Express stops in Providence along its Northeast Corridor line (Washington D.C. to Boston). It only takes about 30 mins to reach Boston from Providence Station on the Acela Express line.
