Clippership Connector
The Clippership Connector starts at Riverbend Park and travels along the Mystic River to Medford Square.
The Clippership Connector breaks ground in Medford - Nov 2, 2023
The Clippership Connector, a half-mile waterfront path, connects 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 allows 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 broke ground in Winter 2023 and was opened to the public in Summer 2025.
Further improvements to Clippership Drive and Main Street in Medford Square seek to improve the westbound connection to the project are forthcoming.
