- Photos of the Phase 4 construction extension of the Alfred J Lima Quequechan River Rail Trail in Fall River, which will connect it to Father Travassos Park in the Flint. The City is using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to complete Phase 4 of the Quequechan Rail Trail project.

A Traffic Garden project with Mass in Motion and the Fall River Community Development Agency is also located at Father Travassos Park. The traffic garden will be a great complement to the rail trail, to help more kids be confident in their cycling abilities and get out on bikes.

The Quequechan River Rail Trail has been built in phases, with the first phase opening in 2016.

In 2023, a new extension brought the path to Fall River’s eastern border with Westport, adding to the length of the total 2-mile long trail.

Officially known as the Alfred J. Lima Quequechan River Rail Trail, the path begins at Britland Park and travels along the Quequechan River’s banks through the Flint. It crosses Brayton Avenue and continues along the South Watuppa Pond’s northern shore and ends at the Westport line.
