Route 24 is a numbered State Highway running 8.1 miles in Rhode Island.
[edit] Route
Route 24 takes the following route through the State:
- Portsmouth: 4.3 miles; Route 114 to Tiverton town line
- Fall River Expressway
- Tiverton: 3.8 miles; Portsmouth town line to Massachusetts State line at Route 24
- Fall River Expressway
[edit] Notes
The layout of Rhode Island's highways effectively make Tiverton and Little Compton isolated from the rest of the State. Because of this, people travelling to this part of the State from the Providence area will often-times cut through Massachusetts using Interstate 195 and Route 24. This route is often far faster than other routes which stay inside Rhode Island.
Route 24 passes over the Sakonnet River Bridge.
[edit] Exit list
The exit numbers are only marked on gore signs.
