What's happening with the rail trail?

Question from an ActonForum reader

Who would have thought that Chelmsford (Chelmsford! Of all places!) could get their section of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail done before Acton. What's up with that?
Thanks!

ActonForum reply:

ActonForum thanks Tom Michelman for this information :

The BFRT is being built in phases from North to South. The Chelmsford / Westford portion for years have been scheduled to be built prior to the Acton portion.

The attached has some details on the BFRT history.
