Seacoast Greenway won’t be ready for 10 years
The New Hampshire Seacoast Greenway will run 17.2 miles from Kittery, Maine to Salisbury, Massachusetts.
Plans for a 17-mile biking trail that stretches from Maine to Massachusetts are well underway. However, you’ll have plenty of time to tune your bike before you can ride it.
The New Hampshire Seacoast Greenway won’t be completed for 10 years, Seacoastonline.com reports.
The bike path and walking trail will run 17.2 miles from Kittery, Maine to Salisbury, Massachusetts. It will be part of a larger project, a proposed 2,900 East Coast Greenway bike path and walkway that will run from Calais, Maine to the Florida Keys.
There are challenges to overcome before the trail is complete.
Pan Am Railways and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation currently disagree over the price of Pan Am’s inactive Hampton branch rail corridor, which the state wants to purchase for the trail, according to the report.
And then there’s the challenge of building the trail through the Hampton marshes, Scott Bogle, senior transportation planner of the Rockingham County Planning Commission, told the news site. The beautiful marsh area could become the “jewel of the trail,’’ but environmental permits must be secured, he said.
