“Yesterday, MassDOT Secretary Gina Fiandaca and Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver helped cut the ribbon on the new shining tides mile of the Mattapoisett Rail Trail.
This $6.6M project is part of the south coast bike network which connects the communities of Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, Town of Marion, Massachusetts & #Wareham.”-MassDOT.
