Rhode Island Route 51, RI 12 to RI 115

 

Location: Phenix Ave and Scituate Ave, Cranston
No signage after the RI 12 split. RI 51 actually won’t be signed for the rest of its existence – the neighbors didn’t want it posted and DOT caved.

Location: Phenix Ave and Highland St, Cranston

RI 51 passes over I-295 without interchange.

Location: Phenix Ave and Natick Ave, Cranston

At Natick Avenue, turn right to stay on RI 51/Phenix Ave.

No signage after the turn.

Location: Phenix Ave and Brook St, Lippitt, West Warwick
As we enter Lippitt, RI 51 effectively degrades to a neighborhood street – without so much as a centerline – and it’s obvious why the residents didn’t want it signed.

Location: Phenix Ave and Main St, Lippitt, West Warwick

A few blocks later, we’ll approach RI 115. Turn left for 115 east and right for 115 west. RI 51 ends.
