#georgetownma — Public Fediverse posts

So, here's a situation where the #PingreeFarmRoad highway overpass, also on the #NorthShoreMassachusetts , already has a structure that could be transformed into a #WildlifeCrossing over a major highway, but it's falling into disrepair. I plan on contacting some organizations back in #Massachusetts to see what can be done to make this happen!

Abandoned Interstate 95 Overpass (#GeorgetownMA)

Hidden deep within the Georgetown-Rowley State Forest lies an abandoned overpass spanning Interstate 95 — a rusting, graffiti-covered bridge with a fascinating backstory dating to the 1970s.

#BCT and Pingee Farm Road

"This section begins by crossing Boxford Rd. and the bridge boardwalk over the Mill River. The BCT connects a variety of trails before emerging onto Pingree Farm Road. This old road crosses over Route 95 and is decorated with eclectic street art or graffiti - depending on your point of view. The trail continues west and then turns south merging at Hemlock Junction with the Border to Boston Trail and #EastCoastGreenway. It bypasses the Kelsey Arboretum on its way south into Boxford. This recording ends at the boardwalk across Lowe Pond because of technical difficulties. The hike actually continues through #BoxfordME, past Round Top and the monument for Camp Curtis Guild, the Boxford village cemetery, Boxford Center, the Boy Scout Park, Fish Brook, and Lockwood Forest before coming out onto Middleton Road. The total distance for this day is about 9 miles."
