Route 126 is a state highway running for 14.3 miles (23.0 km) in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. Route 126 is a heavily traveled route in Pawtucket.
Route 126 begins at an intersection with Providence's Main Street, which is carried by US 1 and Route 122. The northbound direction begins on Smithfield Avenue, and the southbound begins at Frost Street, turning towards Smithfield via Nashua Street. Once the two meet, they travel the four-lane, divided Smithfield Avenue, very soon after interchanging with Interstate 95 and coming to an intersection with Silver Spring Road and Foch Avenue, where Route 126 turns right, continuing on Smithfield Avenue. The route forms a skewed intersection with Power Road, afterwards narrowing to two lanes, and continues through a dense residential area as it skirts the west side of Pawtucket.
