After years of random Google searches leading me to this board, I figured I'd better join before I get drafted.
My mom's family home in JP was slated to be taken for I-95. Growing up and traveling around Massachusetts I got curious about that big strip of pavement into the Canton woods, the barricades on US 1 in Revere and US 6 in Dennis. Last year I purchased my first home in RI....some quick research showed me that it is right in the path of the cancelled I-895's alternate route up RI 136.
Roadgeeking is in my veins.

Connecticut had it's own list of cancelled expressways (I-84 to Providence, anyone?). Welcome to the forums! :)

Welcome from further south!
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

Welcome to the forum!  I just took my first jaunt through Rhode Island last October.  My friend insisted in stopping to see the weird blue fly for Blue Bug Solutions, referenced in Dumb & Dumber.  That was over in Providence's west side.  Again, welcome!

That'd be for New England Pest Control, along I-95 in Providence. You can NOT miss that damn thing. Trust me! :)

Sir, that is a termite, not a fly.  His name is Nibbles Woodaway.

Welcome to the board!

I have several maps in my collection showing I-895 proposed, but none with interchange ramp level detail. Kind of neat knowing you bought a place that was once in the proposed right of way. #lifeofaroadgeek
