Taking advantage of one of the city’s best natural features, the Quequechan River, the City of Fall River is converting a former railroad corridor along the river into a shared-use trail for bikes and pedestrians.
As part of the project, we designed seven boardwalks, six new structures, and the rehabilitation of one existing bridge, totaling nearly 1,300-feet. Our work also included design of 7,000-feet of trail to connect these structures along the corridor, including a spur trail. The trail passed through sensitive environmental resource areas requiring our team to minimize impacts to adjacent resources and gain environmental approvals from a variety of local and state agencies. Other trail enhancements designed by the project team included site furnishings, informational and directional signage, and landscaping.
The completed trail not only brings two neighborhoods closer together, but also serves as a seamless connection between two parks, one of which we helped renovate, and gives the people of Fall River a scenic and accessible recreational resource.
