SAKONNET BRIDGE BIKE LANE CELEBRATION

The newly-assembled Bridge Bike Partners – made up of Bike Newport, Bike Fall River, and the Tiverton Trailblazers – are announcing a celebratory ride and program on Saturday, April 25, 2015 in recognition of the dedicated bicycle/pedestrian path on the Sakonnet River Bridge! This protected and separated multi-use bridge path, which opened one year ago, is an extremely safe path designed for all road users – a design that all of the Bridge Bike Partners support and hope to see in more road design throughout the region.

All users of the path are invited to come celebrate – people on bikes, walking, skateboarding, roller-skating, and running are welcome to participate.

The day’s celebration will begin at 11am with a 12-mile group bike ride from the Boyds Lane Park n’ Ride, where riders are welcome to park. See the route here.

The group will then proceed back to the entrance to the bike lane on Evans Ave in Tiverton for a brief program and celebration at 1:00pm. Coming to celebrate just for the program portion? Park under the bridge on Riverside Drive.
