US 44 is an east/west route from Kerhonkson, NY, to Plymouth, MA. It is the
northernmost major east/west route in Connecticut and Rhode Island. From the
Connecticut border through most of Rhode Island, US 44 is called Putnam Pike.
In North Providence, it changes names to become Smith Street. In Providence, it
is routed along parallel sets of one-way streets to I-195/US 6. Eastbound
traffic follows Canal Street, Steeple Street, Dyer Street, Delta Street, and
South Water Street. Westbound traffic follows North Main Street and South Main
Street. US 44 is multiplexed with I-195/US 6 across the Seekonk River to East
Providence. On the other side of the river, US 44 is called Taunton Avenue and
runs east into Massachusetts.
