Kennedy Plaza repaving underway

The Kennedy Plaza repaving project is underway and set to run through Thanksgiving. As a result of the project, all buses are moved out of the busways and relocated to various areas around the plaza area.

If you regularly travel by bus or need to make a transfer in the Plaza, check the graphic to see where your bus is now. The information center in the plaza will remain open during the project and RIPTA has staff stationed around the area to help people find their buses.
