Taunton Update

Taunton, MA,  7/24/17 - Work continues in Taunton as we begin the street widening portion of the project. County Street will be widened up to 10 ft at the intersection to provide two thru lanes in each direction, a left turn lane in each direction and four foot shoulders. Widening up to 20 feet into the graded, landscaped lawn of a recently constructed CVS building on the Southwest side of the intersection will provide thru lanes in each direction, an exclusive right turn lane in each direction, and four foot shoulders. Additional work includes roadway resurfacing, removing trees where necessary to accommodate the roadway widening, applying pavement markings, repaving driveway aprons, installing new catch basins, reconstructing sidewalks and wheelchair ramps, adjusting and relocating utilities as necessary, and upgrading traffic signal equipment.
