The South Coast Bikeway is a component of the SRPEDD's Southeastern Massachusetts Bicycle Plan. The bikeway, once realized, will be a 50-mile continuous system of bike paths (or multi-use paths) and bike lanes that will connect Rhode Island to Cape Cod. Cities and towns included in this plan are Swansea, Somerset, Fall River, Westport, Dartmouth, New Bedford, Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, Marion and Wareham. Several segments of the bikeway already exist in Swansea, Fall River, New Bedford, Fairhaven and Mattapoisett and are highlighted in the interactive map below.
The South Coast Bikeway was designated as part of an East Coast Greenway Alternate route in 2011 from Providence to Provincetown. A map of the East Coast Greenway Alternate Providence to Provincetown bikeway can be found here. An article in the South Coast Insider regarding the proposed bikeway can be viewed here starting on page 34.

Cost Estimate (Preliminary):
A cost estimate for the South Coast Bikeway Project was developed by SRPEDD staff in 2012. Design and construction costs were included in this estimate. The estimate was calculated using average costs per mile for Class I (off-road bike path/multi-use path) and Class II (bike lanes on a roadway) bikeways compiled from MassDOT. The breakdown of costs can be viewed here.
