Shore Park and Parkway

The Shore Parkway Greenway will be temporarily closed just east of the Knapp Street access point due to hurricane relief work to be performed by the Army Corps of Engineers. The bike lane will be detoured during construction. The planned detour for the bike lane will be through part of the western half of the parking lot and will be connected to the existing bike path on both ends of the detour lane. The current plan is to allow the bike path to remain open, with the detour, during the entire construction period.
Anticipated Completion: Winter 2014
