Merrimack Riverwalk, Lowell, MA. -- A New Walkway in the Future, Part 1 (2014, 2021.2022).

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.

Lowell, MA Major Snow Storm, January 27, 2015.

This January 27, 2015 snowstorm / Blizzard was among our largest storms in many years. Because there was a parking ban, many of my pictures were taken while driving in the car (it was legal then). A few later, some were taken from the sidewalk.

Four photos below of Merrimack Street.

It's amazing that seven years later, almost to the same date, we had another similar storm. These figures are for Boston, not Lowell. In 2015, I believe Lowell had more snow, and less than 23.7 for yesterday in Boston on January 29, 2022.
