Rte. 107 Improvements Focus of DOT Meeting

SALEM, MA - Commuters who regularly take Route 107 in Salem and Lynn know it isn’t always a quick and easy ride.

Those cities, along with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation are studying ways to improve transportation issues between Chestnut Street in Lynn and Boston Street in Salem. This study will propose improvements to address existing transportation issues for motorists, transit users, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

On Wednesday, Jan. 27, the MassDOT will be holding a public information meeting on the Rte. 107 Corridor Study. The meeting will be at the Salem High School auditorium from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

At the first public information meeting, the project team will introduce the study and provide an overview of the project purpose, coordination with the Working Group, and the work to date, including an assessment of existing and projected transportation conditions. The public is encouraged to attend to learn more about the study and provide feedback. Those who have not already done so can take an online survey to help MassDOT identify ways to make travel through Route 107 safer and more efficient.
