PLAINVILLE — Town Manager Michael Paulhus has provided an update on the Beeline Trail, which will connect Plainville and New Britain, and is set to begin construction next Spring. Paulhus said the $9 million project will be entirely state funded. Construction is expected to begin in Spring 2027, pending funding, right of way acquisition and permits. “A major trail and street improvement project is coming to Plainville and it could change how people move through town,” he said. “It’s called the Beeline Trail, a new east-west connector linking New Britain and Plainville.” The Beeline Trail, also known as the New Britain–Plainville East–West Connector, will build a new road-separated, multi-use trail along with streetscape and complete street improvements along East Main Street, Pine Street and Woodford Avenue and White Oak Avenue. “It also closes a critical gap linking the Beeline Trail with the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail,” Paulhus said.
