The meeting will provide updates on the Route 20 reconstruction project, which will affect more than 3 miles of road.
OXFORD, MA — A virtual public meeting for the Route 20 reconstruction project in Charlton and Oxford will happen in February. The project involves the reconstruction of about 3.2 miles of Route 20 from the intersection with Richardson Corner Road in Charlton to the intersection with Route 12 in Oxford, according to MassDOT.
MassDOT said it is redesigning and reconstructing Route 20 in Charlton and Oxford to improve safety and traffic.
Work proposed includes widening the road, replacing bridges over the Little River and the French River, adding sidewalks and shared-use paths, installing a median barrier, improving safety and traffic at intersections and enhancing stormwater treatment.
