DCR – Trail Development

Owner: Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR)

Overview: With the growing popularity of multiple use paths and trails, the DCR targeted a four mile stretch of abandoned railroad right of way located in the Towns of Uxbridge, Millville, and Blackstone, Massachusetts for trail development. This link, one of many proposed, will eventually allow cyclists and joggers to access multiple use trails throughout the State. John Rocchio Corporation was awarded the contract to construct a 3.5 mile link.

Work: The work consists of the construction of a bituminous paved trail, earth retention walls, drainage structures, landscape improvements, fencing, guardrail, a children’s play area and the structural repair, modification and painting of an existing abandoned railroad bridge.

Cost At Completion: $7,167,997
