is a numbered State Highway running 23.1 miles in the
U.S. State of
Rhode Island .
Route 14 takes the following route through the State:
- State line at CT 14 to Foster town line
- ---Plainfield Pike
- town line to Scituate town line
- ---Plainfield Pike
- town line to Johnston city line
- ---Plainfield Pike
- town line to Providence town line
- ---Plainfield Pike and Plainfield Street
- town line to US 6
- ---Plainfield Street
Route 14 roughly runs along the historic
Providence & Norwich Turnpike , later renamed to "Plainfield Pike". The only section of Route 14 that does not roughly follow the original road is in
Scituate , where approximately 1.5 miles of original road have been bypassed. Half of the bypassed road is currently submerged under the
Scituate Reservoir . The bypassed section, a road called "Old Plainfield Pike" can be driven by car from its beginning at
Route 102 to
Route 12 . The original road continues past
Route 12 as a paved path. This paved path continues for approximately .25 miles up to the Scituate Reservoir, at which point the path is underwater for approximately a mile. It resurfaces out of the Reservoir on the northeast side and continues for another .25 miles and then rejoins with Route 14. The pavement between
Route 12 and the Reservoir, and between the Reservoir and Route 14 on the northeast side, is believed to be original from before the Reservoir was created.
Route 14, from just east of
Route 5 to just west of
Interstate 295 , runs on the
Cranston /
Johnston town line, with Route 14 Eastbound in Cranston and Route 14 Westbound in Johnston.
