Where new and old meet. Entrance to the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail at the Lowell/Chelmsford town line. Rt. 3 goes over the tunnel. The Middlesex Canal once ran through this area. The Greenway Connector Trail will head off to the left, through the parking lot in the foreground. The tunnel for the BFRT was constructed as part of the Rt. 3 widening project and was completed in 2006. Taken in October 2008. |
