A Live Virtual Design Public Hearing will be hosted on the MassDOT website below to present the design for the proposed LEXINGTON BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, L-10-010, ROUTE 2A (MARRETT ROAD) OVER I-95 project.

Purpose:

The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed LEXINGTON BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, L-10-010, ROUTE 2A (MARRETT ROAD) OVER I-95 project. All views and comments submitted in response to the hearing will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

Proposal:

The proposed bridge project consists of the replacement of the existing Route 2A (Marrett Road) bridge in its present location, modification of the layout of the interchange off/on ramps, roundabouts on each end of the bridge, and other safety improvements. The proposed two span bridge will provide two 11-foot travel lanes westbound, one 12-foot lane eastbound, a 4-foot median, and a single 10-foot shared-use path on the north side. Traffic will be managed through staged construction. Short-term detours during night-time hours will be required for certain construction activities. The project will also provide pedestrian and bicycle accommodations within the project limits to improve connectivity and access. Multimodal accommodations consisting of accessible pedestrian facilities and a shared use path have been provided in accordance with applicable design guides.

A secure right-of-way is necessary for this project. Acquisitions in fee and permanent or temporary easements may be required. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is responsible for acquiring all needed rights in private or public lands. MassDOT’s policy concerning land acquisitions will be presented in the hearing.
