PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Many drivers have changed their travel habits amid the extended closure of the westbound Washington Bridge, according to R.I. Department of Transportation data obtained by Target 12.

On Monday, just under 65,000 cars used the temporary westbound I-195 lanes on the eastbound Washington Bridge, RIDOT data shows. That was down 33% from the daily average of 96,000 before the abrupt closure of the westbound bridge last December.

However, that was a significant increase compared with earlier this month. Monday marked the first weekday with three lanes of traffic in both directions on the eastbound bridge.
