This work will be taking place March 2nd – 4th and March 9th – 11th, between the hours of 7:00am and 5:00pm. Eversource will be arranging flaggers at two locations near the main trailhead off Route 2 and also at the crossing of the Pipeline Trail near Pinkham B Road.

Please follow all instructions of the flaggers and we appreciate your patience as we work with our partners to complete these repairs. Map where flaggers are located.
