Chatham, May 30, 2008

The Old Colony Rail Trail has been extended from its ending point at Crowell Road by using an on-road route on Tip Cart Drive (diagonally across Crowell Road from where the trail formerly ended).

The route continues on Hitching Post Road to where it intersects with Depot Road. On the bluff overlooking Veterans Field, a paved terminus with a kiosk and bike racks will be completed soon.

Before the start of the Bike Safety Rodeo on June 14th the new extension will be formally dedicated at 9:30 a.m.
