Public Meeting Notice  Monson - Replacement of Bridge M-27-026 – Stafford Hollow Road over NECRR

Purpose:

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed replacement of Bridge M-27-026 – Stafford Hollow Road over NECRR project.  All views and comments made at the meeting will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

Proposal:

The proposed project initially consisted of replacement of the timber superstructure.  After the initial site visit indicated the dry stone abutments were in poor condition and were not candidates for reuse, a   full bridge replacement was considered. The project limits extend approximately 200 feet in either direction of the end of the current bridge.  Bicycle and pedestrian facilities do not exist within this area.  Current conceptual designs have the installation of a sidewalk on one side of the bridge.  Bicycle accommodations consisting of a usable shoulder have been provided in accordance with applicable design guides.

MassDOT provides reasonable accommodations and/or language assistance free of charge upon request (including but not limited to interpreters in American Sign Language and languages other than English, open or closed captioning for videos, assistive listening devices and alternate material formats, such as audio tapes, Braille and large print), as available.  For accommodation or language assistance, please contact MassDOT’s Chief Diversity and Civil Rights Officer by phone (857-368-8580), fax (857-368-0602), TTD/TTY (857-368-0603) or by email (MassDOT.CivilRights@dot.state.ma.us). Requests should be made as soon as possible prior to the meeting, and for more difficult to arrange services including sign-language, CART or language translation or interpretation, requests should be made at least ten (10) business days before the meeting.
