On Sunday, Aug. 18, Woods Hole Road will be closed to all traffic for the Falmouth Road Race from 8:00 a.m. to approximately 10 a.m. Customers should expect travel delays along Woods Hole Road and Palmer Avenue all day as a result of the race and plan accordingly.

While no trips are canceled on Sunday, customers traveling between 8 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. must be on the Woods Hole terminal property no later than 8 a.m. if they plan to travel or if they have a vehicle reservation. The last bus to Woods Hole from the Thomas B. Landers Road parking lot will leave at 7:25 a.m.; the last bus from the Palmer Avenue parking lot will leave at 7:40 a.m.

Vehicles traveling from the Vineyard to Woods Hole during this time will not be able to leave the terminal after disembarking their vessel – and arriving customers will be unable to ride a bus to one of the Authority’s parking lots – until after the road is reopened.

Additionally, certain trips aboard the M/V Nantucket will leave earlier than scheduled in order to allow passengers to leave the terminal property before the race begins. They are:

• Woods Hole to Oak Bluffs: The 6:30 a.m. trip will now leave at 6:20 a.m.
• Oak Bluffs to Woods Hole: The 7:30 a.m. trip will now leave at 7:15 a.m. The Falmouth Police Department has informed us vehicles on this boat will be able to leave the terminal when the boat arrives at 8 a.m.
