Project Summary
The Wellington Underpass is the final phase of the Wellington Greenway shared use path that will link the current dead end at Wellington T station parking lot via a new underpass under Route 16. The project is a collaboration between the City of Medford, MassDOT, DCR, and MyRWA. The design and engineering process is ongoing and supported by Gaming Commission Funds, a MassTrails Grant Application, and Transportation Investment Plan Construction Funding (MassDOT).
This boardwalk and path will:
- Fill a critical gap in the Mystic River greenway network
- Enable recreation, access and mobility along the Mystic River
- Provide a safe alternative for pedestrians and cyclists to cross Route 28 at Wellington Circle
