Bill > H3032

This bill, titled "Resolve relative to construction on Route 3," directs the State Department of Transportation (MassDOT), a state agency responsible for transportation infrastructure, to publish a specific schedule for construction work on Route 3, a major state highway running from Boston to Plymouth. The bill highlights the significant traffic congestion and growth experienced on this route, particularly at the interchange with Routes 93 and 128, known as the "Braintree split," and acknowledges that these roadways have been identified as needing reconstruction and widening, with multiple studies already conducted. The key provision mandates that MassDOT must issue this construction schedule no later than July 1, 2014, overriding any existing laws or regulations that might prevent this.
