Reply to comment by ratbas in When these projects are all completed in the next few years, you'll be able to ride a bike between Lowell, Marlborough, and Waltham almost entirely on paved off-street paths: by Sbatio
Tracks. I didn't even know you could cross 128 there. Was that recently opened? I mean, that's the trail we were clearing but I don't recall the bridge was crossable. I used to always park my car at that big office complex and then walk my bridge across the train tracks. I tried walking the RR bridge once but it was way too scary.
From your video it looks like it still ends in Wayland. I would try continuing through the overgrown upraised RR but I would get a thorn in my tire every single time, no joke. I gave up after the 3rd time.
If you can stand riding on 20, you'll eventually hit more bike able areas... a little on the left and then a lot on the right which go north through Great Meadows areas.
I used to bike a lot of this all the way up to Billerica where I worked.

The 128 part is accessible and shows no signs of ever being blocked off, but at the same time it still looks and feels very much like just an old rail bridge.
I haven't been out there since last spring when this was recorded. Once it warms up I'll head out again and shoot the update.
