Public Hearing Notice  Wilmington - Main Street/Route 38 Bridge over MBTA tracks

A Live Virtual Design Public Hearing will be hosted on the MassDOT website below to present the design for the proposed Main Street/Route 38 Bridge over MBTA tracks project in Wilmington, MA.

Purpose:

The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed Bridge Replacement, W-38-002, Route 38 (Main Street) over the MBTA railroad. All views and comments submitted in response to the hearing will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

Proposal:

The proposed project consists of replacing the existing 2-span reinforced Concrete bridge structure over MBTA Railroad on Route 38 in Wilmington. A permanent utility bridge will also be built parallel and beside the proposed bridge. As this project is located inside a future Route 38 roadway reconstruction project the cross section will match with one 11-foot lane each way, 5-foot shoulders each way for bicycle accommodation and one 5-foot sidewalk on the western side. The new bridge will be a single span and will be constructed using accelerated construction methods to reduce traffic disruption. A detour will be required during construction.

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.

Project inquiries, written statements and other exhibits regarding the proposed undertaking may be submitted to Carrie E. Lavallee, P.E., Acting Chief Engineer, via e-mail to dot.feedback.highway@state.ma.us or via US Mail to Suite 6340, 10 Park Plaza, Boston, MA 02116, Attention: Major Projects, Project File No. 607327. Statements and exhibits intended for inclusion in the public hearing transcript must be emailed or postmarked no later than ten (10) business days after the hearing is posted to the MassDOT website listed below.
