A bold new step toward safer travel and stronger connections is coming to Cambridge. The Fitchburg Crossing Project will create a dedicated crossing over the MBTA Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line, linking neighborhoods divided by the tracks and opening new pathways to Danehy Park, Fresh Pond Mall and beyond.
This project will make getting across the train tracks safer, easier and more inviting. The City is planning a new multiuse path stretching from Steel Place near Alewife Station to Sherman Street parallel to the tracks, unlocking seamless connections for walkers and cyclists alike.
With design funding secured, the City will select a design team this fall with design work beginning soon after. Stay tuned for exciting updates!
This project builds on the Danehy New Street Connector Path to link Danehy Park, Fresh Pond and the Cambridge Watertown Greenway, creating a connected future for active transportation in Cambridge.
