See the attached presentation from the Waltham Traffic Commission, regarding the Proposed Route 128 Corridor Plan

Attached is the presentation from Traffic Commission a couple weeks ago, regarding the Proposed Route 128 Corridor Plan. This is a conceptual design plan; refinements to this concept are underway by the designer.

Some of the highlights:

  • A new Main Street bridge over Route 128, with seven lanes
  • Green Street realigned directly opposite Bear Hill Road and extended to Route 20 rotary
  • Three new traffic signals around the Route 20 rotary, to improve safety
  • A new northbound on-ramp from Main Street (Route 117)
  • Stow Street will no longer connect directly to Main Street
  • A potential new structure for the Wayside Rail Trail over Route 128
  • Reconstruction of the off and on ramps between Route 128 northbound and Third Avenue/Prospect Hill Lane
  • A new traffic signal at the intersection of Third Avenue/Prospect Hill Lane/Route 128 interchange
  • Once these improvements are in place, the Connector Road would be able to be open full time
