Barnstable
Main Street
Reconstructing Route 6A
in Barnstable, MA
In 2019, we started planning an improvement project on Main Street in Barnstable, MA. With an approximate contract value of $18.4 million, the project focused on enhancing safety along Main Street, Millway, and the Harbor. Main Street is a distinct landmark for local Barnstable residents and receives many visitors who use this road as a shortcut. Read more to find out how these improvements helped the local community.
Improved Safety
Barnstable Village is a historic community in the Northeast. To preserve the local history, we followed the traffic calming strategy of our engineering partners, which prevented a complete redesign of the area. This strategy included extending curbs, raising crosswalks, and making the road more bike-friendly. These improvements helped pedestrians feel more safe along this road.
Reconstructed Intersections
Main Street is the primary access point to the Barnstable Harbor and the Barnstable Village Center. We reconstructed the intersection to improve the traffic flow while increasing safety for pedestrians. We changed the lighting to match the historic style atmosphere of the village. Also, we implemented sustainability improvements to preserve the Harbor and manage drainage.
