In a recent incident of heavy rainfall, several streets across Rhode Island became impassable, leading to temporary closures in affected areas. The city officials were prompt in taking necessary measures to ensure public safety.

In Providence, the following streets were temporarily closed due to flooding: Ann & Hope Way, Abbott Street, Pilsudski Street, Valley Street at Helme Street, Magnolia Street, and Pavilion Avenue at Eddy Street. These areas experienced significant water accumulation, making it unsafe for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Cumberland was also not spared from the effects of the flooding, with Ann & Hope Way and Abbott Street being temporarily closed due to floodwaters.

Fortunately, as the rainfall subsided and the water receded, the closed streets in Providence gradually started to reopen. Valley Street at Helme Street, Magnolia Street, and Pilsudski Street, as well as Pavilion Avenue at Eddy Street, were among the locations that were reopened to the public.

City officials remind residents and motorists to exercise caution while traveling in the aftermath of such incidents. It is important to remain vigilant, follow safety guidelines, and stay up to date with any road closures or advisories.
