Station 1: Wachusett Aqueduct

Wachusett Aqueduct Assabet River Bridge

The Wachusett Aqueduct was constructed during the late 1890’s to transport water from Wachusett Reservoir in Clinton, Massachusetts, to the Boston metropolitan area. The masonry-lined aqueduct is currently inactive but will continue to serve as a backup for the nearby Cosgrove tunnel that was constructed in the 1960’s.
