Barre, Massachusetts · Highways & Roads · Client: Town of Barre
Balanced traffic flow, pedestrian safety, bicycle accommodations, and parking demands within a historic town center. The project included changing traffic patterns to one-way segments to mimic a roundabout, expanding green space, and conducting public outreach to maintain the historic character of the town common.
Berlin, Massachusetts · Highways & Roads · Client: Town of Berlin
Roadway, traffic, and streetscape design for the Riverbridge mixed-use development. Work included widening River Road from two to four lanes, implementing intersection improvements, installing traffic calming measures, and constructing a new roundabout to serve as the entrance to the development.
Wilmington, Massachusetts · Highways & Roads · Client: Ron Muller and Associates
Upgrades to Ballardville Street and its intersections with a commercial site driveway and I-93 ramps. The work comprised ramp widening, intersection geometric improvements, traffic signal design, and roadway rehabilitation.
Royalston, MA · Highways & Roads · Client: Town of Royalston
Survey, base mapping, and roadway design for a 6.5-mile segment damaged by poor drainage, frost heaves, and heavy truck traffic. Improvements included pavement reclamation, minor widening, drainage updates, and vertical and horizontal alignment modifications.
