Funding of $652,000 was awarded from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), to repave approximately 1.75 miles from outside Gate 43 to just before the bridge. The roadway provides visitors easier access for the use of fishing, walking, running and bike riding.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Tuesday with DCR Commissioner Brian Arrigo, along with Director of Rural Affairs Anne Gobi, State Senators Peter Durant and Jake Oliveira, and State Representatives Todd Smola and Aaron Saunders.
“At DCR, we are dedicated to making our properties welcoming and accessible for all users to enjoy and connect with our natural and recreational resources,” said DCR Commissioner Brian Arrigo. “We are pleased to see this important access road revitalized to provide access to the Quabbin Reservoir, a valuable natural and recreational resource for the community.”
