• Salisbury rail trail to be finished by November.
“The 10-foot- wide, paved, $1.1 million rail trail will be built with Massachusetts Highway Department funds because a lot of state and local officials worked “in partnership” to make it happen, said state Sen. Steven Baddour, D-Methuen, and state Rep. Michael Costello, D-Newburyport. ”

Salisbury has a couple of rail trails in development, all part of the Coastal Trails network. The Ghost Trail (below) which enters Amesbury and the Old Eastern Marsh Trail which parallels Route 1 and goes into Newburyport as part of the Border to Boston rail trail project.
