The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management is announcing a project has started which affects a stretch of the East Bay Bike Path.
Work is taking place for about a week on the bike trail in Warren just south of the Route 114 bridge.
The DEM says Rhode Island Energy is relocating overhead power lines.
Signs have been added to notify bicyclists about an eight-block section of the path which is reduced to a single lane.
Officials say there will be signage on both sides of the work and flaggers to ensure that bike riders and pedestrians can see the lane closure and adjust.
