There will be a crane test this Saturday as part of evaluation of erecting a cell tower by the on/off ramp to Route 128 just past Houghton’s Pond. A New Hampshire firm is seeking to erect a tower on the site. The Milton plot of land is owned by the state. The crane test is intended to simulate how the actual tower will appear (i.e. it’s visual impact). The test will take place from 12:00 – 3:00pm.

The Friends of the Blue Hills have a post on their blog concerning the test. You can find it here.
