After lengthy delays, work begins on linear trail extension in Southington

Construction to extend the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail north from Lazy Lane to Aircraft Road is underway after years of planning and delays. The project, the third and final phase needed to complete most of the town’s segment of the popular linear trail, is scheduled for completion in 2024. State and local officials cited the pandemic as the cause of delays in designs and approvals needed for the trail segment, which crosses wetlands at several different points, requiring both local approval and permission from the Army Corps of Engineers. Southington engineers worked with the state Department of Transportation on the trail’s design.
