WELLFLEET, Mass.– The roads around the Marconi Wireless Site and Marconi Beach Road in Wellfleet will be repaved, resurfaced, and restriped to improve visitor access to these popular areas beginning Tuesday, October 17. The park will first temporarily close Marconi Station Site Road from park headquarters to the parking lot at the Marconi Site from 6 am to 5 pm for up to three days to allow for the work to be done. During this period, the road will be closed off to the public and will not be accessible to vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians.  

Repaving and closures are expected to start on Marconi Beach Road following completion of the Marconi Station Site Road.

On days when a road is closed, the road will be open after 5 pm and on weekends during this work period. 

The repaving is weather dependent, and rain can cause delays. To check the status of the road work, including if the roads are closed, please visit the park’s website or social media pages.
