Traveling through Providence Rhode Island

I am coming from Springfield mass to Westport mass and I see that I can go around Providence Rhode Island if I stay on 495 but it might be a longer trip than if I go through I-95

To answer your initial question, Yes you could go Mass Pike, 495, 95 through Providence to 195 with a 30 ft MH.... BUT there are some friction points that can be tough if you don't know the road well. The S curves through Pawtucket are not that bad if you watch the road carefully and watch out for the idiot lane changers. Worse than that is the section from the 146 merge with 95 to the 195 ramp (which was moved from the left lanes to the right lanes a few years back). There is also some construction work going on there now and it is easy to get in a lane that exits to "never never land"!

- side note, I hate going down 146 to 95 in a car, I used to do that ride often to/from both Worcester and Woonsocket -

I think Mass pike (90) to 495 to 24 down to 95 in Fall River is a much easier and probably faster route and a less stressfull ride. I have not been on 24 in a few years but it used to be an easy road.
