100% Design
The 100% Design Submission was submitted by the Nitsch Design Team to MassDOT on December 18, 2025. The 100% Design review has been completed by MassDOT. The Design Team is focusing on the second structural submission for the underpass crossing, now that the supplemental field data is completed (collected the week of January 5, 2026). The design team is also working to finalize the Preliminary Right of Way Plans, which will be posted here when they are accepted for easement acquisitions by MassDOT. Per discussions with MassDOT and the MPO, we are still targeting a project advertisement date in September of this year to solicit construction bids from contractors.
