The fire Monday afternoon was in the right lane on the westbound side, heading into Providence. However, both sides of the highway were temporarily stopped while crews worked to put out the fire and remove the car.
The eastbound side reopened first, but not before traffic had already built up before the bridge.
On I-195 West, traffic was backed up to the Massachusetts state line as the lanes were reopened one by one.
