Route 108 is a numbered State Highway running 9.0 miles in Rhode Island .


ROUTE

Route 108 takes the following route through the State:




HISTORY

Before 1934 , Route 108 followed present-day Route 246 and Route 146A from Providence to Woonsocket , then along Park Avenue to end at Route 122 .


NOTES

Until the summer of 2004, Route 108 turned off of Kingstown Road (the State-maintained route) in Peace Dale, following Kersey Road and North Road and bypassing the Peace Dale Rotary. However, most maps showed Route 108 staying on Kingstown Road. However, new signage was installed in 2004 that puts Route 108 on Kingstown Road through Peace Dale. The routing on Kersey and North Roads may have been done to avoid low clearances where the Narragansett Pier Railroad used to cross over Kingstown Road twice. Those overpasses have been torn down, and a bike path now crosses Route 108 twice within a quarter mile.
