Public Meeting Notice  Salem - Bridge Street (Route 107) reconstruction

Thursday, November 7, 2024 at 6:30 p.m.

Overview

A Virtual Public Informational Meeting will be hosted on the MassDOT website below to present the design for the proposed Bridge Street (Route 107) Reconstruction project in Salem, MA.

Purpose:

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed Bridge Street Reconstruction project that extends from its intersection with Flint Street to approximately 150 feet west of the Washington Street intersection. All views and comments submitted in response to the meeting will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

Proposal:

The proposed project consists of a Complete Street design that is context-sensitive and compatible with local planning initiatives. A separated shared-use-path is proposed on the northerly side of Bridge Street and full pedestrian and bicycle accommodations along the southerly side, providing a valuable multimodal connection within the community, including to the MBTA garage.

The project will improve the Bridge Street resiliency to flooding by slight increase in the grade and profile in the area that is currently most susceptible to flooding to the degree practical (given the site and the adjacent areas constraints) and by providing a new roadway drainage system. A mini-roundabout is proposed at the intersection with the North Street ramp, enhancing traffic safety and operations while implementing traffic calming along the corridor. Other work such as street lighting, landscaping, and streetscape elements that complement the area's historic character will be added.

This meeting is accessible to people with disabilities. MassDOT provides reasonable accommodations and/or language assistance free of charge upon request (e.g. interpreters in American Sign Language and languages other than English, live captioning, videos, assistive listening devices and alternate material formats), as available.
