The Town has announced the beginning of construction of the Shore Road Path project.

Construction on the 2.2-mile path along Shore Road is scheduled to begin the week of June 18, 2012, and should take between 90 and 120 days to complete. Cape Elizabeth contractor L.P. Murray & Sons submitted the lowest bid of nine opened on May 24, 2012.

"During several phases of the project, traffic will be slightly delayed, or reduced to one lane," said Public Works Director Robert Malley, in a letter to neighboring residents dated June 8. He asked neighbors, residents and all who use Shore Road to be patient while construction is underway.
