| The Bruce Freeman Trail is a proposed rail trail through
the communities of Lowell, Chelmsford, Westford, Carlisle,
Acton, Concord, Sudbury, and Framingham in Massachusetts
-- following the 25-mile route of the old New Haven Railroad
Framingham & Lowell line. Phase 1 (6.8 miles in Lowell,
Chelmsford, and Westford) is under construction. Phase 2 in
Westford, Carlisle, Acton, Concord, and Sudbury (13.1 miles)
and Phase 3 in Sudbury and Framingham (4.6 miles) are proposed
extensions. |
 |
 |
|
The Bruce Freeman Trail
will be open to non-motorized uses such as cycling, jogging,
walking, and skiing. Other uses such as rollerblading
and equestrian use may also be possible depending on
the design. |
If you would like to see an existing facility which is very
similar to the proposed Bruce Freeman Trail, check out the
Nashua River Rail Trail in Ayer, Groton, Pepperell and
Dunstable. A map and directions can be found at http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/northeast/nash.htm
