The Clippership Connector breaks ground in Medford - Nov 2, 2023
The Clippership Connector, a half-mile waterfront path, will connect more than 10 miles of contiguous greenways and provide a safe and scenic route between Medford Square, Andrew/McGlynn Schools and Riverbend Park. The path will allow people to walk, run, bike, and push strollers along a section of the river that has been blocked from public access since the construction of Interstate 93.
Thanks to the MA Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), the project has been designed and permitted. Construction on the project broke ground on November 2nd, 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2025. Sign up for our enewsletter to learn about upcoming milestones as this project advances.
