Route 103A is a numbered State Highway running 2.0 miles (3.2 km) in Rhode Island. It serves the Riverside section of East Providence.

Route description

Route 103A is a loop route of Route 103 in the Riverside section of East Providence. It leaves Route 103, continuing straight along Bullocks Point Avenue where Route 103 veers southeast on Willett Avenue. At the south end of Bullocks Point Avenue in Crescent Park, Route 103A turns east onto Crescent View Avenue, which later ends back at Willett Avenue/Route 103.

Route 103A is state-maintained only north of Beacon Avenue.[2]

History

Route 103A was coordinated as a numbered State Highway in 2001. The exact reason for its existence is unknown but it was presumably designated as an alternate route through Riverside since its parent, Route 103, bypasses it.
