While MassDOT has backed off plans for renumbering it's exits to milepost based numbers, it appears RI is going ahead. There is an advertisement for a project to renumber I-295 and 'I-99' listed on their Project bid webpage with the winning bid to be announced August 25: http://www.dot.ri.gov/contracting/bids/index.php

Route 146, which does not have any exit numbers, will begin getting them starting next year.

The DOT has not finalized when and in what order the state’s other limited-access highways will get new numbers, but the entire project is expected to be finished by 2020, said agency spokesman Charles St. Martin.

The other highways being renumbered are: Routes 95, 195, 4, 10, 24, 37, 78, 403 and the T.F. Green Airport Connector.

Route 6 and Route 138 are also limited access but will remain numberless. St. Martin said this was because the roads include long sections without exits that would make the exits begin at confusingly high numbers.

Exits less than one mile apart will be given letter designations along with their new mile numbers.

The RIDOT Renumbering Project website reports all the exit numbers along I-295 have been changed as of early this morning (with the exception of Exit 3 at MM 3). The travel advisory page also removed the notice about exit renumbering work along RI 99 from its list as of last Saturday, so that project has been completed as well.
