South Bay Harbor Trail

South Bay Harbor Trail, adjacent to Fort Point Channel and the Interstate 93 viaduct

The South Bay Harbor Trail is a mixed-use path in Boston, Massachusetts. Construction began in 2008, and was originally expected to be completed in 2010,[1] but was delayed until 2011.[2] The trail extends from Ruggles Station along Melnea Cass Boulevard, across Massachusetts Avenue, along Biosquare Drive near the Massachusetts Avenue Connector, under the Southeast Expressway (Interstate 93), and connects with the Boston Harborwalk in Rolling Bridge Park on Fort Point Channel. The designation continues with the Harborwalk along the channel until Fan Pier, where showers, lockers, and bike storage will be constructed.[1][3]

The trail cost $4.9 million, paid for by federal highway funds with state match, private property owners which the path crosses, and about $1 million[4] in private fundraising by the non-profit Save The Harbor.[1]
