MassDOT Public Info Meeting for Proposed Intersection Improvements at Route 47 (North Leverett Road) and Route 63 (Federal Street)

Wednesday, November 6, 2024 6:00pm via Zoom

What is happening? The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is hosting a meeting to update the public on the proposed Intersection Improvements at Route 47 (North Leverett Road) and Route 63 (Federal Street), in Montague, MA. The project will include the construction of a roundabout to improve the approaching roadway geometry and sight distance and the provision of a shared use accommodation. All views and comments submitted in response to the meeting will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

How will this affect you? This is a priority intersection included in the 2024 Franklin County Regional Transportation Plan. There is a large intersection skew, sight line obstructions and a crest curve that will be mitigated with our design. Impacts to the roadway users will include the use of flaggers to direct traffic during stages of the construction and a detour around the construction area on Main Street, Center Street and South Street. The work comprises of milling and overlay, full depth reconstruction of the existing roadway, concrete splitter islands and a shared use path within the project limits.
