BECKET-609506-136647-CDSP.pdf

This is a project description document for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation detailing ledge removal work along Route 8 in Becket, Massachusetts. The project involves the removal of an existing weathered and fractured rock slope along a 325-foot section of Route 8 located north of McNerney Road, between mile markers 28.002 and 27.998. The rock face, which has been detaching and falling onto the roadway and creating unsafe driving conditions for motorists, will be excavated back 14 feet from the road edge. Following removal, a soil nail/rock anchor wall will be installed and finished with shotcrete in an architectural Ashlar finish to stabilize the slope and prevent future rock falls.
