Public Meeting Notice  Natick - Bridge Replacement & Interchange Improvements at Routes 27/9

A live Virtual Public Information Meeting will be hosted on the MassDOT website below to present an update on the proposed bridge replacement project and interchange improvements in Natick, MA.

Purpose:

The purpose of this meeting is to update the public on the status of the bridge replacement project and interchange improvements. MassDOT will present on the project background, the project design, the schedule and construction phasing, public involvement, and next steps. All views and comments will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

Proposal:

This project will include the replacement of the structurally deficient Bridge No. N-03-020 which carries North Main Street (Route 27) over Worcester Street (Route 9) and consists of the reconfiguration of the interchange to a modified Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) configuration. The reconfiguration will provide safety improvements, reduced traffic congestion through the interchange, and improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities using separated shared use paths and sidewalks. The project length is approximately 3,850 feet along Route 9 and 2,120 feet along Route 27. The work will also include transit stops along Route 27 and Route 9 along with reconstructed sidewalks, drainage improvements, traffic signals, retaining walls, utility relocations, signing, roadway lighting, and landscaping.
