MassDOT Project Could See Reconstruction Of Braintree Curb Ramps

BRAINTREE, MA — An upcoming Massachusetts Department of Transportation project could see reconstruction efforts starting in Braintree.

The proposed project consists of the reconstruction of existing pedestrian curb ramps to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Architectural Access Board (AAB) standards at various locations throughout MassDOT District 6, including Boston, Braintree, Chelsea, Milton, Needham, Newton, Quincy, Randolph, Watertown, Wellesley, Weston and Weymouth, officials said.

"The ramps included in this project have been identified by MassDOT as priority locations of substandard pedestrian ramps based on an assessment of the entire District," officials said, in a news release.

"The additional required work to reconstruct each curb ramp may include, but is not limited to, sidewalk and curb reconstruction (where it exists today), full depth pavement reconstruction and/or milling & overlay of the existing roadway in the intersections, and restoration of existing grass areas."

A public hearing is scheduled for Thursday at 6 p.m., which will be held via Zoom. That link can be found here.
