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 the project background, the project design, the schedule and construction phasing, project right-of-way, project landscaping, public involvement, and next steps. The meeting will include both an open house segment and a presentation segment. All views and comments will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

Project

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. For more information, please visit the dedicated project webpage.
