WESTON- RECONSTRUCTION ON ROUTE 30

This project is proposing a roadway improvement project along the Route 30 corridor within the Town of Weston. The project limits include the entire length of Route 30 from the Natick town line to the intersection at Cutters Bluff Rd (end of Town layout), excluding the newly constructed portion of Route 30 at the intersection of Wellesley Street (MassDOT project 602000). One of the project goals would be to tie into this new intersection. The total project length is approximately 3.7 miles. The proposed work would include a combination of resurfacing and box widening to achieve a standard pavement width to include 11-foot lanes and 5-foot shoulders/bike lanes in each direction. The preferred alternative would also provide one 5-foot sidewalk along the corridor. This sidewalk would directly abut the roadway with vertical granite curb in some locations, and separate from the roadway with a landscaped buffer in other locations. The desired goal is to provide pedestrian accommodations where needed while also maintaining the rural character of this corridor. Drainage improvements include adjustments or new catch basins where the edge of pavement is shifting, but otherwise maintaining the existing drainage system to the greatest extent possible. New signage and striping would be provided throughout the entire project limits. Existing lighting will be maintained or relocated as needed based on relocations of utility poles.
