This October 2000 photo shows the main route of today's Route 6 through Providence. The current urban experience of 6 varies from city to city. In cases such as this, it zooms through town on limited-access highways; in other cases it is sent around the CBD or the city entirely on bypasses. In these situations, part of the game played by highway explorers is to find and follow the original route. However, in a number of instances-including Cleveland-Route 6 winds through town on what is essentially its original route. Visible in this photo, partially hidden behind a newer building, is the 1928 Industrial Trust Building, which at 420 feet was the tallest in Providence for several decades.
