Overview of Stoughton - Proposed Route 138 (Washington Street) Corridor Improvements
A Live Virtual Design Public Hearing will be hosted on the MassDOT website below to present the design for the proposed Route 138 (Washington Street) Corridor Improvements project in Stoughton, MA.
Purpose:
The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed Route 138 Corridor Improvements (from its Townline with Canton to Lincoln Street) project. All views and comments submitted in response to the hearing will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.
Proposal:
The purpose of this project is to improve traffic safety and operation of Route 138. The project consists of milling and overlay of the existing pavement, limited widening at some locations, adding turning lanes at intersections, new pavement markings, sidewalk reconstruction and new sidewalk, and traffic signal and signage replacement. Pedestrian accommodations consist of 6-foot-wide sidewalks (on both sides of the street, except north of York Street which is on one/west side only). Bicycle accommodations consisting of a 7-foot-wide buffered bike lane on each side of the street are in accordance with applicable design guides.
A secure right-of-way is necessary for this project. Acquisitions in fee and permanent or temporary easements may be required. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is responsible for acquiring all needed rights in private or public lands. MassDOT’s policy concerning land acquisitions will be presented in the hearing.
