The $2.5 million project, federally funded and administered by the R.I. Department of Transportation, was celebrated in a brief ceremony attended by Gov. Gina M. Raimondo and other state officials. It was constructed by J.H. Lynch & Sons, Inc., of Cumberland.
Eventually, the 16.5-mile bikeway — to include separated as well as on-road sections — will take riders up to Woonsocket through Pawtucket, Central Falls, Cumberland, Lincoln and North Smithfield. It will be 22 miles on completion, according to the state.
