FRAMINGHAM- RECONSTRUCTION OF UNION AVENUE, FROM PROCTOR STREET TO MAIN STREET

The project involves improvements to Union Ave from Proctor Street to Main Street, with limited work on intersecting local roadways. Specifically, the proposed improvements include full depth pavement reconstruction, sidewalk reconstruction, traffic signal improvements, streetscape improvements, bicycle accommodation, warning and regulatory signing and pavement markings. The existing traffic signal at Mt. Wayte Avenue will be reconstructed and new traffic signals will be constructed at the Union Ave intersections with Lincoln Street and Walnut Street. Streetscape and ornamental lighting improvements will be constructed from the southerly beginning of the project up to the intersection with Lincoln Street. Minor roadway widening of less than 2 feet is proposed between Proctor St and Lexington St in order to provide a sufficient cross section for travel lanes, bike lanes and on-street parking. The Town is constructing significant stormwater improvements as part of a separate utility project to be completed prior to the roadway improvements.
