MassDOT Right of Way

The MassDOT Right of Way Bureau coordinates acquisition of real property for state transportation projects.

Massachusetts’ transportation system is dependent on an extensive network of highways, bridges, and streets. As we make changes and improvements to our transportation system, it is sometimes necessary to acquire land from private property owners.
