Contractor Project Information
Broad Street at Washington Street and Spring Street
This project is for traffic and safety improvements. The City of Lynn through Community Development is coordinating a $2.4 million MassWorks project at the intersection of Washington Street, Spring Street and Broad Street. The project will cap off the work the City completed on Lower Washington Street.
The Broad Street at Washington Street and Spring Street intersection is a MassDOT Top 200 High Crash Location, where weekday traffic volumes on Broad Street exceed 16,000 vehicles per day. The project will provide critical safety improvements and provide improved traffic operations that supports residential and commercial development opportunities, and improved access to the Commuter Rail, Community College, business districts and the Waterfront.
The project will improve traffic flow, reduce vehicle queuing, and increase the efficiency and safety for all users. The redesigned intersection geometry will better organize lane assignments, channeling traffic and improving sight distance. In coordination with the MBTA, the new traffic signals will incorporate Transit Signal Priority (TSP) technology to optimize bus operations in the area.
