A Design Public Hearing will be held by MassDOT to discuss the Replacement of Bridges S-20-022, S-20-023, S-20-024 & W-24-032, in the Southborough and Westborough, MA.

Purpose:

The purpose of this hearing is to inform the public of the proposed bridge replacement project and to provide an opportunity for public question and comment. All questions and comments raised at the hearing will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent practicable.

Proposal:

The proposed project consists of the replacement of four bridges (eight spans) along the Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90). Bridges S-20-022 (Parkerville Road), S-20-024 (Woodland Road), and W-24-032 (Flanders Road) will have their superstructures replaced, and Bridge S-20-024 (Cordaville Road) will be fully replaced. The bridges will be reconstructed in the same footprint as their existing spans. When complete, the bridges will be restored to their original traffic configurations. MassDOT will replace these structures using accelerated bridge construction methods over eight separate weekends of work during the summer of 2021.
