The Raceway crosses under Central Street on the southerly side of the Longfellow Municipal Center. Water moved through it from west to east from the Blackstone River and discharged back into the river on its northeast bank. Completed in 1877, it remains one of the few visible features of the vast manufacturing facilities along the river. Its construction is unique because the channel followed a curved path rather than a straight line, resulting in a beautiful example of workmanship by the builders.
