A map of the area where improvements will be made in Phase I of the Watertown Riverfront Park Project.
A flurry of work can already be seen along the Charles River, east of Watertown Square, and the official groundbreaking for the construction project will be held on Monday, July 21.
The work is phase I of the Watertown Riverfront Park Project and goes from the Founders Monument to Perkins Hill. Improvements include reconstructing pathways, additions of river overlooks and a sensory trail for vision impaired students.
The work is due to be completed this fall.
Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Maeve Bartlett, DCR Commissioner Jack Murray, Senator Will Brownsberger, State Rep. Jonathan Hecht and other local officials will be at the ceremony. The event begins at 10 a.m. and will be at the park near the intersection of Charles River Road and Irving Street.
