Traveling through Providence Rhode Island
Wondering whether I should go through Providence Rhode Island on I 95 with a 30 foot class C large RV or go around on 495? Which would be easier? Thank you

I live right near Westport. If you want to avoid Providence I would go Mass Pike to 495 south, to 24 south, to 195 east, then to 88south (Westport exit).
Going through Providence you can go Mass Pike, to 146 south into Providence, merges with 95 south and then take 195 east.
In all actuality, going the longer way via 495 is only going to take, at most, 15-20 mins longer. What I usually do is check the traffic map on my phone because 495 can have as much traffic as downtown Providence since 495 is more associated with Boston traffic patterns.
I head out the the Berkshires often since my sister lives there so I am pretty familiar with that drive.
