This page allows you to suggest edits to the map data!
You'll be able to see your edits throughout the site, but they won't be visible to anyone else until I approve them.

How things are organized:

Trails are collections of smaller parts called segments.
Segments can belong to multiple trails.
Both trails and segments can have names, descriptions, and links.
Segments can have timeline events, which can be shared across multiple segments.

The final 100 yard gap, a state bridge replacement, was completed in 2010. It is not the original Mass Central Railroad corridor, which crossed the Assabet River with a now-disused bridge slightly north. By 2023, Hudson opted to move the route of the MCRT - Wayside between Wilkins Street and Priest Street, to be shared with the ARRT.

From the southeast corner of the parking lot (the entrance to the parking lot), cross the gated foot bridge on your left and head up the paved road. The bike path will be on your left-hand side. Once you are on the paved bike trail, follow the signs at the intersections towards the East Entrance which is on Long Pond Road in Plymouth. You will cross a few automobile roads so cross with care.

85	Alewife Linear Park	Opened in 1985 as part the Red Line extension from Davis to Alewife, this section was the earliest trail in the area–before the Community Path or Minuteman. As of March 2025, a redesign is expected to begin construction in May 2025. Improvements include: * A modest widening of the main path to accommodate its modern usage levels, facilitating safer, more comfortable passing interactions between users and bringing it in line with national design standards for shared-use paths * Planting over 120 new trees, plus many other plants and a new Miyawaki forest near Russell Field replacing existing dirt desire paths with new stone dust side paths, which will help reduce soil compaction and promote plant growth elsewhere * Adding/upgrading amenities like trash/recycling containers, seating, water fountains/bottle filling stations, emergency call boxes, and natural play features * Drainage and irrigation repair/installation, fixing issues like the large puddles/ice patches that form near the entrance	Alewife Linear Park Mass Central Rail Trail	paved	Ongoing Redesign

126	BFRT Phase 3, Framingham Phase 1	The Framingham section of the trail has been divided into two parts. Phase 1, which is about 1.4 miles, runs from the Sudbury line south to Frost Street. Currently Phase 1 in Framingham, along with the final 1.3 miles in Sudbury (BFRT Phase 3 Sudbury), is scheduled for the 2029 TIP. However, Framingham Planning and Community Development Director Sarkis Sarkisian, who is charged with coordinating development of the BFRT in Framingham, says he is optimistic that the construction schedule can be accelerated. It is hoped that both the Sudbury section and Phase 1 in Framingham can be constructed concurrently.	Bruce Freeman Rail Trail	design	Friends of the BFRT, Spring/Summer 2025 Newsletter

In 2025, DCR began "Phase 2" with pre-construction activities starting in February. The trail was paved by May 14, but additional construction improvements are ongoing. Primary completion is targeted for June 30 2025, though HAWK Red Light signal fabrication (at hazardous Route 20 Sudbury and Main Street Hudson crossings) is scheduled for end of October 2025. DCR expects work such as loam/planting to continue into 2026.	Mass Central Rail Trail - Wayside Mass Central Rail Trail	construction
131	The Shining Sea Bikeway	The Shining Sea Bikeway runs for 10.7 miles from the Steamship Authority ferry terminal in Woods Hole to County Road in North Falmouth. Following the Old Colony rail line, it is the only bikeway on Cape Cod that runs alongside the sea, providing views across salt marshes, barrier beaches, and open water. And with almost 25% of the Bikeway abutting conservation land along at least one side, the Bikeway brings you close to a variety of wooded uplands, cedar swamps, and ponds. Wildlife abounds along the Bikeway, from the microscopic plankton in the sea to quahogs, bluefish, River Herring, eels, egrets, Great Blue Herons, Red-tailed Hawks, Osprey, turtles, Red Fox, muskrats, and deer. The Shining Sea Bikeway is the oldest rail trail in Massachusetts, the first in the United States to be assembled by eminent domain, and the legal struggle to create the trail led to the strongest state rail corridor protection legislation in the country.

The remaining 2 miles, Phase 2, will continue from Frost Street to Pleasant Street (near Rte. 9). Phase 2 has the added complication of two bridges. The Grove Street bridge will be replaced, and the bridge over the Mass Pike may need to be raised to meet current clearance standards. These are some of the reasons MassDOT decided to break the construction of the trail in Framingham into two phases. Framingham has already requested that Phase 2 be considered by the MassDOT project review committee. The overall conceptual design for Framingham (Phase 1 and Phase 2), known as 10% design, has been completed.	Bruce Freeman Rail Trail	design	Friends of the BFRT, Spring/Summer 2025 Newsletter
