[[Interstate 95 in Rhode Island|Interstate 95]] (I-95) runs southwest to northeast across the state, linking Rhode Island with other states along the [[East Coast of the United States|East Coast]]. [[Interstate 295 (Rhode Island-Massachusetts)|I-295]] functions as a partial [[ring road|beltway]] encircling Providence to the west. [[Interstate 195 (Rhode Island–Massachusetts)|I-195]] provides a limited-access highway connection from Providence (and [[Connecticut]] and New York via I-95) to Cape Cod. Initially built as the easternmost link in the (now cancelled) extension of [[Interstate 84 (east)|I-84]] from [[Hartford, Connecticut]], a portion of [[U.S. Route 6 in Rhode Island|U.S. Route 6]] (US&nbsp;6) through northern Rhode Island is limited-access and links I-295 with downtown Providence.

Several Rhode Island highways extend the state's limited-access highway network. [[Rhode Island Route 4|Route&nbsp;4]] is a major north–south freeway linking Providence and [[Warwick, Rhode Island|Warwick]] (via I-95) with suburban and beach communities along [[Narragansett Bay]]. [[Rhode Island Route 10|Route&nbsp;10]] is an urban [[connector (road)|connector]] linking downtown Providence with [[Cranston (RI)|Cranston]] and [[Johnston, Rhode Island|Johnston]]. [[Rhode Island Route 37|Route&nbsp;37]] is an important east–west freeway through Cranston and Warwick and links I-95 with I-295. [[Rhode Island Route 99|Route&nbsp;99]] links [[Woonsocket, Rhode Island|Woonsocket]] with Providence (via [[Rhode Island Route 146|Route&nbsp;146]]). Route 146 travels through the [[Blackstone Valley]], linking Providence and I-95 with [[Worcester, Massachusetts]] and the [[Massachusetts Turnpike]]. [[Rhode Island Route 403|Route&nbsp;403]] links Route&nbsp;4 with [[Quonset Point]].

Several bridges cross [[Narragansett Bay]] connecting [[Aquidneck Island]] and [[Conanicut Island]] to the mainland, most notably the [[Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge]] and the [[Jamestown-Verrazano Bridge]].
