Roads and Bike Paths to Meigs and East Beach at Hammonasset Closed Due to Construction Project

Nature Center also closed during week during project

Roads and bike paths to two beach areas at Hammonasset Beach State Park - Meigs and  East Beach – are closed because of a project that is underway to improve water and electrical systems within the park.
The construction work will require the roads and bike paths to those areas to remain closed on weekdays for the next several weeks.   The work will be stopped and equipment moved, however, so that these roads and bike paths can be used on the weekends.
While the project is underway, the Meigs Point Nature Center is also closed week days.  Plans call for it to be accessible and open on weekends.
Park visitors can walk along the beach to reach the Meigs and East Beach sections of the park when the roadways are closed.
