Vineyarders may have noticed that cars were still rolling along Beach Road on Wednesday.
The closure of Beach Road, the major road between Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs, that was scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed. Tisbury Police announced online that all roads will be open and a new date will be determined.
The road closure is slated to allow “underground construction” to go forward as part of an Eversource undersea cable project, spokesperson Kyle Costa told The Times. According to Eversource’s webpage, the cable is expected to come into service in 2025.
These areas that were planned to be closed included:
- Beach Road landing in Tisbury to the intersection of Eastville Avenue and Temahigan Avenue in Oak Bluffs.
- Eastville Avenue in Oak Bluffs, from Temahigan Avenue to County Road.
- Temahigan Avenue in Oak Bluffs, from Eastville Avenue to Towanticut Street.
Tisbury Police stated they were planning to allow access via Beach Road to those with appointments or other business with Martha’s Vineyard Hospital.
Construction delayed. All roads open today.
Comments are closed.
