RI 2
Route 2 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
Route 2 takes the following route through the State:
By 1939, Route 2 was paved with concrete between the split from Route 112 and Route 12. It had short overlaps with Route 117 and Route 5, both of which have been eliminated with interchanges.
For a brief time during the construction of the Route 10 freeway, Route 2 left Reservoir Avenue in Cranston and turned north onto the current Route 10 freeway, ending at the Olneyville Exit.
Route 2 is a heavily traveled route between in Cranston and Warwick as it is a major commercial corridor with shopping, restaurants and more.
Route 2, from Route 401 to Bald Hill Road, runs right on the Warwick/West Warwick town line. Route 2 Northbound runs in Warwick and Route 2 Southbound runs in West Warwick.
Route 2 crosses Route 5 at the Meshanticut Interchange, which is also the northern terminus of Route 33.
