The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation announced that the Linden Street Bridge portion of the Mass Central Rail Trail is now open. The bridge has been closed since an access ramp leading to the bridge collapsed in 2023 and the renovation was slated to be completed by the end of this year. The 3-mile stretch of the rail trail between Route 117 and Beaver Street in Waltham is now completely usable for those who wish to walk, run, bike and commute to work.
