Just north of the city line, Route 152 crosses over Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and passes to the east of the Hebronville Mill Historic District.

Route 152 leaves the downtown area by crossing the Bungay River, at which the highway passes the historic Blackinton Houses and Park.

The highway intersects Route 106 (Messenger Street) just after crossing the Bristol–Norfolk county line and entering the town of Plainville.

However, they believe there could have been a proposal for (what local roadgeek and historian Steve Anderson refers to as) "part of a larger plan to provide a marked parallel route for US 1A / RI 114 south to I-195 and Veterans [Memorial] Parkway."

"[4] For this reason, Google Maps incorrectly refers to RI 152 as extending down Newman Avenue and Broadway to end south of the Henderson Expressway at U.S. Route 44.
