Project Description:
PITTSFIELD- RESURFACING AND RELATED WORK ON MERRILL ROAD, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION OF SHARED-USE PATH
This project proposes to resurface 0.85 mile of Merrill Road (Route 9) from East Street to Junction Road (approx. MM 1.78 to MM 2.63). The project will include some changes to pavement cross-slope to correct super-elevation deficiencies and improve curve banking. Drainage, guardrail, and other supporting elements will be evaluated for compliance with current design and safety standards. The existing sidewalk on the north side of Merrill Road, from East Street to Junction Road, will be replaced with a shared-use path to improve bike/ped accommodation along the corridor. This proposed shared use path will extend an additional 0.5 mile east of Junction Road to meet the proposed extension of the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail.
