Project Description:

As it is a short segment, a design/build approach similar to prior segments will be used. The 1/3-mile trail will connect the Province Lands Bicycle Trail at Beech Forest to both the planned primary "spine" route and secondary route network.

This much degraded, short section of the Province Lands Bike Trail will be rehabilitated, and a small section will be realigned to bring the trail head to a safer and more accessible location on the transfer station access road or Race Point Road. The spur trail was not rehabilitated when the remainder of the trail was redone in two phases in 2010 and 2015. It is approximately one-third mile long. Full depth reconstruction is warranted due to pavement decay and tree root penetration.

The project will include widening the existing trail (generally 8’ wide) to a standard 10 foot width (except adjacent to wetlands) for a multi-use trail; removal of existing trees and shrubs adjacent to the trail; paving/overlaying the entire surface; centerline striping in certain areas; improving drainage in low areas to eliminate pooling of water after rainfall;

and replacing/upgrading existing directional and safety signage. The project begins where the trail leaves the SW corner of the Beech Forest Parking area and continues to where the trail intersects with the road to the Provincetown Transfer Station.

(1) Company name, DUNS number, address, point of contact, telephone number, and email address.
