The project freed up space in downtown Providence and the Jewelry District. It involved renovating India Point Park and constructing a -wide pedestrian bridge; building a signature arch bridge over the Providence River; and improved highway flow, access, and safety, as the existing intersection was not built for modern traffic standards. The previous lane alignment was dangerous and created congestion, as lane shifts were often required to avoid a left sided exit-only lane; moreover, the concrete supports deteriorated to the point that steel shoring are needed to reinforce the intersection's many bridges.
