HOLYOKE- WEST SPRINGFIELD- REHABILITATION OF ROUTE 5 (RIVERDALE ROAD), FROM I-91 (INTERCHANGE 13) TO MAIN STREET IN HOLYOKE & FROM ELM STREET TO NORTH ELM STREET IN WEST SPRINGFIELD (3.2 MILES)

The project consists of rehabilitating two sections of concrete pavement on Route 5 in Holyoke and West Springfield. The current project limits begin in West Springfield immediately to the north of the I-91 Exit 13 Interchange, and extend northerly to the intersection with Main Street in Holyoke (2.2mi) - the second section extends from East Elm Street (@McDonalds) northerly to North Elm Street near the dike (1.0mi). Total project length is 3.2 miles. The proposed work on section one will include roadway rehabilitation and new and reconstructed sidewalks and traffic signals. Section two will only include new and reconstructed sidewalks and wheelchair ramps. The project also includes modification to the intersection with Ashley Avenue to add a dedicated left turn lane. Other work includes traffic signal updates at several locations, drainage system improvements, and guardrail improvements.
