The Concord River, between the Lowell Auditorium and other properties on the left, along with Massachusetts Mills at the far end (where the riverwalk work was being done). I went over to the auditorium for some pictures, but it was very icy further up that side, but I got some help. The bridge was not open.
The above photo was taken on April 30, 2015 (no bridge).
I thought I could walk through the Mass Mills property (shown below across Bridge Street) and get some better pictures. Doing that proved interesting as I needed help.
When I got to one of the back buildings by the Concord River, I spotted this short trail, partially hidden behind a large snowbank. When I turned around, I saw the railing and trail extended up to the new bridge across from the auditorium! Nice surprise.
I then drove to Stackpole Street, parked, and did quite a bit of walking. Nice to see the old St. John's Hospital area, where I used to work. Walked into several private parking areas until I found what I was looking for.

Then I found what I was looking for and got a few good photos. You can see where the walkway is. I wonder when it will be completed. The last picture was taken by one of the men for me, because he was 12" taller and was able to get most of the fence cut out. You can see the 6 openings on the ground level overlooking the river.
