Conwell Street Bicycle Improvements
First ride along the new bike lane on Conwell Street in Provincetown.
This project added 5-foot bike lanes, a green bike crossing, and an ADA-compliant, 5-foot-wide sidewalk along Conwell Street from Route 6 to Cemetery Road.

Paving was completed on June 9, and the “bicycle loop detector” was installed at the traffic light. The loop detector is a sensor that picks up th presence of a bicycle so the traffic light knows someone is waiting for the light to change to green. It will be marked with a bike stencil to show riders where to wait for the light.
Final raising of utility covers, line striping, and signage installation coming soon.

Construction has begun! You’ll see a staging area near the intersection at Route 6 with materials for the drainage improvements that are part of this project. Expect to see lane closures from time to time while the project is underway. The expected completion target is sometime in June 2021.
