News release from Town of Barnstable.

HYANNIS, MA — On Monday, October 28, 2024, a contractor for the Town of Barnstable is scheduled to commence construction along Ocean Street and Gosnold Street, Hyannis, to perform roadway, sidewalk, and watermain improvements. Construction will take place on Ocean Street between the John F. Kennedy Memorial and Hawes Avenue, and on Gosnold Street between Sea Street and Ocean Street.

The project scope includes improving pedestrian access and traffic safety; updating infrastructure; constructing a new entrance drive to Kalmus Beach; and extending the existing watermain to Hawes Avenue. Most of the construction will take place in the roadway or on road shoulders, and at times temporary lane closures with an alternating traffic pattern will be required to provide an adequate and safe work zone. Barnstable Police Department will be onsite to assist motorists as needed.

Construction will occur Monday through Friday, from approximately 7:00AM to 3:30PM. The project is anticipated to be completed by May 2025, weather permitting. Throughout construction, access to residences and businesses will be maintained. As always, please slow down and use caution when traveling through work zones. Follow posted safety and detour signs and directions from onsite traffic control.
