Portions Of Danvers Rail Trail To Close Next Week

DANVERS, MA — Parts of the Danvers Rail Trail will be closed next week so the Danvers Electric Company can do vegetation maintenance around the power lines.

The work is set to begin on Monday and run from 7 a.m. through 3 p.m. on Friday. Closures will be on a rolling basis where the work is being done and are set to start at the Peabody line moving north to Putnamville Park.

Those on the trails are advised that a truck with a large mowing head will be used to remove grass and brush that hinder line access. The trails where is being done will be closed so the contractor can work quickly and safely.

Volunteers will be stationed at key crossings and will suggest alternate routes.

Those with questions can contact Kevin Donnelly at the Electric Division at kdonnelly@danversma.gov or 978-777-0005, Ext. 3630.
