Public Hearing Notice  Wareham - Corridor Improvements over Route 6 at Swifts Beach Road

Purpose:

A Live Virtual Design Public Hearing will be hosted on the MassDOT website below to present the design for the proposed Corridor Improvements on Route 6 at Swifts Beach Road project in Wareham, MA. The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed project. All views and comments submitted in response to the hearing will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

Proposal:

The intent of this project is to improve bicycle and pedestrian accommodation along this section of the Route 6 corridor, as well as to improve safety and operational efficiency of the intersection with Swifts Beach Road via a new signal and left turn only lane. Travel lanes will be reduced from four to two (one in each direction), with 5-foot shoulders. The northeasterly sidewalk will be reconstructed, and a new 10-foot shared use path will be added along the southeasterly side of the roadway. Required right-of-way acquisitions and other construction impacts will be explained at the meeting.
