Thank you, Veterans!!!


Next week, crews will continue installing a series of manholes and duct banks along the Shining Sea Bikeway, between Ter Heun Drive and Locust Street. This work will continue through the winter months and is anticipated to be completed by early spring of 2025. A suggested detour will be in place to accommodate this work (see map below).

The Shining Sea Bikeway will be closed between Ter Heun Drive and Locust Street for the duration of construction.

 

The Depot Ave parking lot, located at 81 Depot Ave, Falmouth, is also closed for the duration of this work. The Locust Street parking lot will remain open.

 

On Surf Drive, crews will be working to perform water bypasses along the roadway in select locations and will continue to install a dewatering system ahead of construction that will begin later in November.

 

PLEASE NOTE:

 

A portion of the Surf Drive parking lot, located at 56 Surf Drive, Falmouth, will be cordoned off for the duration of this work.
