The Berkshires received more than $600,000 for improvements and planning of recreational trails. The funds are part of some $12 million in awards announced recently for 65 projects across the state.
Beginning next week, geotechnical sampling and testing will be done at 18 locations for a stream bank restoration stability analysis. Similar sampling was issued a negative RDA in 2021.
The project is expected to begin this month and will take place over three phases with the initial work focusing on the removal of existing infrastructure, including structures on and over the chasm, to address safety concerns.
