Meanwhile, MCRT states the newly opened above-ground recreational trail segment safely allows for walking, running and biking, connecting directly into an existing trail parking area that reportedly avoids vehicle traffic. DCR officials sought Eversource’s direction for improving the overall reliability of the electric transmission system serving the Greater Boston region. Eversource was tasked not only with connecting customers across New England, but also enabling new energy resources that support the region’s electrification and decarbonization goals. The trail, officials state, is part of MCRT’s broader objective to connect 26 communities across 104 miles from Boston to Northampton. The Sudbury-Hudson Transmission Reliability Project reportedly represents the final project in the Greater Boston and New Hampshire Solution— a regional portfolio that manages critical transmission investments in eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
