(East Providence, RI) -- Miles-long traffic backups were the reality for motorists on Route 195 eastbound on Wednesday. RIDOT tweeted at around 12:30 p.m. that the traffic was due to an area of settled pavement in East Providence, which also caused delays to pop up on I-95 north and south, Route 6 and 10 inbound and Route 146. The transportation department says all lanes have been re-opened, and the depression in the highway was likely related to an old utility patch.
