About this map

This map gathers the Rhode Island Department of Transportation's live traffic cameras into one fast, searchable view, drawn from RIDOT's Rhodeways system. Rhode Island is the smallest state in the country, but it is densely covered: roughly 139 cameras watch the spine of I-95, the Providence interchanges, the Narragansett Bay bridges, and the coastal routes through South County. Whether you are timing a rush-hour run through downtown Providence, checking the wind on the Newport bridges, or heading to the South County beaches, you can see what the road actually looks like before you go.

Coverage follows the corridors that carry the state. I-95 is the backbone, entering from Connecticut near Westerly and Hopkinton and running north through Warwick and Providence to the Massachusetts line at Pawtucket, including the Thurbers Avenue Curve and the rebuilt 6/10 Interchange. I-195 heads east from Providence over the Washington Bridge through East Providence toward Fall River, Massachusetts; I-295 forms the western beltway around the city; and Route 146 links Providence to Woonsocket and the Massachusetts line. Route 4 connects Warwick to North Kingstown, US-1 traces the coast, and Route 138 carries traffic to the Newport bridges over Narragansett Bay.

Use the area presets to jump to a region, search for a highway or town, save the cameras you check most as favorites, and see the nearest airport's conditions alongside each camera. These RIDOT cameras carry no on-road weather sensors, so the weather shown is supplemented from the closest National Weather Service airport station rather than a roadside reading. In a state where a Nor'easter can flood the coast, ice the bridges, and snarl I-95 through Providence all at once, a quick look at the camera is the difference between rolling and waiting it out.

Statewide

Every RIDOT Rhodeways camera across Rhode Island in one view, from the Connecticut line at Westerly up I-95 through Providence to Pawtucket, out I-195 and I-295, along Route 146 to Woonsocket, and across the bay to Newport. The best at-a-glance read before any drive across the state.

Providence

Dense coverage of the capital's freeways, where I-95 threads downtown past the Thurbers Avenue Curve and the rebuilt 6/10 Interchange, I-195 splits east over the Washington Bridge, and Route 146 heads north. The most congestion- and construction-heavy stretch in the state, and the place to scan before committing to a route through the city.

Newport & the Bridges

Cameras on Route 138 and the spans across Narragansett Bay to Aquidneck Island, including the Claiborne Pell (Newport) Bridge, the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge, and the Mount Hope Bridge. Key views when high winds restrict high-profile vehicles or close the bridges, and when summer traffic builds toward Newport's mansions and waterfront.

South County & Westerly

Coverage of I-95 and US-1 across southern Rhode Island, from the Connecticut border at Westerly past the beach towns of Misquamicut and Narragansett toward Point Judith and the Block Island ferry at Galilee. Useful for summer beach traffic and for coastal flooding and high winds during Nor'easters.

Tips for using Rhode Island road cameras

  • Before driving through Providence, scan the I-95 cameras around the Thurbers Avenue Curve and the rebuilt 6/10 Interchange first; this is the most congestion- and construction-prone stretch in the state, and a quick look can save you from a long crawl.
  • When a Nor'easter or high-wind warning is in the forecast, check the Newport & the Bridges cameras before crossing the bay. The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority restricts high-profile vehicles on the Pell, Jamestown Verrazzano, and Mount Hope bridges in strong winds and can close them entirely in the worst gusts.
  • Heading to the South County beaches or the Block Island ferry at Galilee in summer, check US-1 and the I-95 approaches near Westerly and Narragansett; weekend beach traffic backs up fast on warm days.
  • Tap a camera's nearest-airport weather to pair the image with current temperature and wind. These RIDOT feeds have no road sensors, so a wet-looking deck near freezing on a bridge is your cue that ice is likely.
  • Save the cameras you check most as favorites, whether that is your I-95 commute, the Washington Bridge corridor on I-195, or a Route 146 on-ramp, so they load with one tap next time.
  • Cameras are a real-time gut check, not the last word. For official closures, lane shifts, and bridge restrictions, confirm with RIDOT or the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority, and dial 511 in Rhode Island before you travel.

Frequently asked questions

How often do the Rhode Island RIDOT cameras update?
The cameras come from RIDOT's Rhodeways system and refresh on a regular interval, typically every minute or few minutes depending on the location, so you are seeing a recent still image rather than continuous video. Reload the camera you are checking for the latest frame.
Which Rhode Island roads and highways do the cameras cover?
Coverage centers on I-95 from the Connecticut line at Westerly through Warwick and Providence to Pawtucket, plus I-195 east over the Washington Bridge, the I-295 western beltway, Route 146 to Woonsocket, Route 4 to North Kingstown, US-1 along the coast, and Route 138 to the Newport bridges over Narragansett Bay.
Can I check Providence traffic with these cameras?
Yes. The Providence area preset focuses on I-95 through downtown, including the Thurbers Avenue Curve and the rebuilt 6/10 Interchange, plus I-195 over the Washington Bridge and Route 146 heading north, so you can scan for backups and construction lane shifts before you commit to a route through the city.
Can I see whether the Newport bridges are open or restricted in high winds?
The Newport & the Bridges preset includes cameras on Route 138 and the spans across Narragansett Bay, so you can see traffic on the Pell, Jamestown Verrazzano, and Mount Hope bridges. The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority restricts high-profile vehicles in strong winds and can close the bridges entirely, so always confirm current restrictions with RITBA before crossing.
Does the map show weather alongside the cameras?
Yes, but with a caveat. These RIDOT cameras carry no on-road weather sensors, so the conditions shown come from the nearest National Weather Service airport station alongside each camera rather than a roadside reading. It gives you temperature and wind context; for official forecasts and warnings, check the National Weather Service.
Can I save my most-used Rhode Island cameras?
Yes. Tap the favorite icon on any camera to keep your regular checks together, whether that is your I-95 commute, the I-195 Washington Bridge corridor, or a Route 146 on-ramp, so they are one tap away on your next trip.
Are these the official Rhode Island DOT cameras?
The images come directly from RIDOT's Rhodeways traffic camera system. This site is an independent, non-commercial travel helper that organizes them for easier browsing; for official closures, lane shifts, and bridge restrictions, always confirm with RIDOT or dial 511 in Rhode Island.
Does this site cover road cameras in other states?
Yes. Because Rhode Island borders Massachusetts, you can cross-check the live Massachusetts DOT cameras at /massdot-cameras, and you can browse every state we cover from the main road cameras hub at /road-cameras to plan a multi-state trip from one place.
