RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK IN FAIRHAVEN MA

One of the busiest intersections at Drown Boulevard and Sconticut Neck can be dangerous on a good day. Continued construction has deteriorated the intersection to the point were both vehicular and bike path traffic were left to fend for themselves.
A long flat bed tractor trailer with steel beams was parked against traffic, a crane was along side to hoist a cluster of steel beams with one guy in a hard hat trying to coordinate the whole thing at 1:38 Monday afternoon, June 16, 2025.
In the photo, a cluster of kids on bikes dodged traffic with no guidance from anyone. No police details were present, however they were in force to protect the protesters this weekend.
Added detours send bicyclists, women with baby carraiges, pet walkers, and pedestrians from one bad path to another at Elizabeth St with a narrow curvy path leading to a very busy Washington St. The detour sidewalk going by the fire station is a mess with the sidewalk buckled up from tree roots which could toss an unsuspecting bicyclist into oncoming traffic.
It appears that all this construction is getting ahead of itself with public safety taking a back seat. Summer is here, school is out and people are out in force. If there's not enough man power for details, give the work to the school crossing guards, or least to somebody (retirees would love the work) with a yellow vest to direct traffic.
