As I walked along the Bridge Street Bridge on December 21, 2021, I noticed the sign shown below. A few weeks later, after some snow, I returned on January 27, 2022, to see if any work had begun. Yes, I knew it had when I looked down and saw a crew of men working the new Riverwalk. This post is in two parts because there are many photos.
Merrimack Riverwalk Phase 2
Sign Posted on Bridge Street, just to the right of this photo.
Three photos of the workers.
Across from the sign is Boott Mill and the walkway.
My husband was on the walkway below Boott Mills in December 2014. I assume the new walkway on the other side of the bridge will look similar. I don't know if the trial will be continuous and go under the bridge. Update: the answer is yes.
On the bank of the Merrimack, you can see where the Concord River meets the Merrimack River.
Part 2 will be about the extension of the walkway.
