Border to Boston Trail Committee

On May 1, 2025, MassDOT held a virtual Public hearing to present the current preliminary design plans for the Border to Boston trail project # 607542. This project covers the trail corridor for 2.6 miles of off-road shared-use trail, stretching from West Main Street (Route 97) to the Georgetown-Newbury Town Line. The Newbury section of this trail is approximately 0.7 miles between the Town line with Georgetown and Church Street in Byfield. The Public Hearing reviewed construction plans, environmental permitting, and right-of way impacts.
