Multi-Use Path to Be Extended On Town Farm Road In Enfield
A grant of nearly $850,000 will pay for the completion of a nearly 2-mile multi-use path in southern Enfield.
ENFIELD, CT — A multi-use path currently running on Town Farm Road from Post Office to Abbe roads will be extended, as the town of Enfield has been awarded a Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program (LOTCIP) grant of $847,200.
This grant will fund the entirety of the construction cost for the installation of the path. The new section of path will now continue from Abbe Road to Broad Brook Road, making a total length of 1.95 miles upon completion of the new segment, Town Manager Christopher Bromson said.
The path will be 10 feet wide with a 4-foot-wide snow shelf, matching the existing multi-use path, Bromson said.
