THROWBACK THURSDAY RIDOT: Route 146 in Providece Late 1950s-Early 60s Here's the end of the Rte 146 freeway in Providence before it was extended to meet I-95. Before, people would have to get off here and drive around the streets in Providence looking for an on-ramp onto Interstate 95 lol. Note that beautiful Westinghouse OV-20 with an integral photocell and paintcan ballast. There used to be a ton of these. I THINK the end of the freeway seen in this pic is right around [url=https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8430567,-71.4192915,3a,23.1y,163.44h,89.07t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sG55MlK8TmJAOovBKuC4VxA!2e0?hl=en] here, as you can see the state house through the trees in the streetview.

It doesn't say much at Wikipedia's Rhode Island Route 146 Confused

Yeah not much info available. Currently, the south end of Rte 146 is at I-95. However, on Rte 146, you can only get onto I-95 south, not north. And you can only get on Rte 146 from I-95 north, not south. In order to get on I-95 north from 146 or get on 146 from I-95 south, you need to get off at another exit and make your way to the nearest interchange with I-95.
