Swansea- traffic signal and safety improvements at three intersections on route 6

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) a formula grant of $26.73 million on April 11, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The award funds traffic signal and safety improvements at three intersections on Route 6 in Swansea, Massachusetts. This project advances the program's core objectives of improving transportation safety and enhancing highway infrastructure through targeted safety enhancements at critical intersections.

As the primary transportation authority for Massachusetts, MassDOT will execute this federally funded initiative to upgrade traffic signal systems and implement safety improvements designed to enhance traffic flow and reduce accident risk at the designated Route 6 intersections. The project represents a continuation of MassDOT's extensive portfolio of infrastructure improvements funded through FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program, demonstrating the state's ongoing commitment to transportation safety and infrastructure preservation across its highway network.
