The project will resurface 10 miles of the Washington Secondary Bike Path, which connects the communities of Coventry, West Warwick, Warwick and Cranston. The path provides an efficient and safe link for cyclists and walkers within these communities for recreation and for commuting to work and school.
RIDOT began construction in Spring 2024 with full depth repairs to the path where large cracks or damage from tree roots had degraded the path surface. This approach will provide a more durable and long-lasting repair for the bike path. Paving will follow in late summer.
Work will take place during daytime and nighttime hours, with the path closed in sections at night but open with at least one lane during the daytime. All path users should exercise caution when traveling close to any construction zones.
The project also includes new fencing, pedestrian signal improvements, new signage and striping.

Over the next few weeks, we are scheduled to place gravel and loam along the bike path paved edges from Sherman Avenue to the project end point at Whitford Avenue at the West Warwick/Coventry line. This will be followed by new signage. |
