Please be advised that Butterfield Road will be closed to vehicular traffic from Tuesday, Jan. 6, through Wednesday, Jan. 14, during standard workday hours. The closure will span from the intersection of Complex Road to the intersection of West Alumni Avenue. Detour signage will be posted.

Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout this period. Please take caution when traveling in this area.

This temporary closure is necessary to allow underground utility investigations in support of a future stormwater improvement project planned for summer 2026. These efforts are part of the University’s ongoing commitment to enhancing campus infrastructure and environmental resilience.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to improve the URI Kingston Campus. Thank you for your patience during this temporary disruption.
