Southbridge- intersection improvements at central street, foster street, hook street and hamilton street

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) received a Formula Grant award of $280,920.05 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on June 17, 2025. This award supports intersection improvements at four locations in Southbridge, Massachusetts: Central Street, Foster Street, Hook Street, and Hamilton Street. The project, identified as STP/CMQ/HSI-0033(042)X, represents a localized infrastructure enhancement initiative designed to improve traffic flow and safety at these critical intersections within the municipality.

Under the FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program, formula grants of this nature fund highway-related projects including construction, resurfacing, safety enhancements, and intersection improvements on eligible public roads. MassDOT, as the primary state transportation authority, administers this federally funded initiative in accordance with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization. The project deliverables include the physical improvements to the specified intersections, which enhance the state's transportation infrastructure network and address local traffic management priorities identified through MassDOT's planning process and local coordination.
