Route 2 Reconstruction at the Concord Rotary – May 7, 2008
The proposed Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) project will replace the existing Concord Rotary with a highway interchange and add an auxiliary westbound lane on Route 2 for one-half mile approaching the proposed interchange. A bridge over Route 2 will connect relocated Commonwealth Ave. to the intersection of Route 2A/119. The proposed Bruce Freeman Rail Trail will be addressed in the environmental study and preliminary design.
Three alternative designs are being assessed by Earth Tech, a consulting engineering firm that was issued a “Notice to Proceed” by the Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) in December 2007 for the preparation of an Environmental Assessment/Environmental Impact Report and 25% Design. A comprehensive public participation component is included, with a general “open house” meeting planned for the spring 2008 timeframe to gather input from all interested parties regarding the three alternatives and the project limits.
