MAYNARD- BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, M-10-004, ROUTE 62 (MAIN STREET) OVER THE ASSABET RIVER

The purpose of this project is to replace the bridge carrying Main Street (Route 62) over the Assabet River in the Town of Maynard. The existing bridge, which was built in 1922, has a curb-to-curb width of 36 feet with two 6.8-foot sidewalks. The proposed bridge curb-to-curb width will remain the same. Main Street is a two-lane, two-way, urban principal arterial. Work on the roadway will include full depth reconstruction of 300 feet beyond the bridge on both approaches. Once beyond the limits of reconstruction, the pavement will be cold planed to match the existing pavement on the two approaches. The demolition, removal, and replacement of the existing bridge will be completed in stages to allow two lanes of opposing traffic and pedestrian access at all times.
