Gov. Maura Healey has awarded $50 million to 34 municipalities to pave 217 mi. of roads to enhance safety and improve travel throughout 2027 and 2028.
The funds come from the Municipal Pavement Program and are available for municipally owned state numbered routes, with an emphasis on National Highway System (NHS) roadways.
"This investment in municipal paving is about delivering significant improvements that make a difference in the lives of people across Massachusetts," said Gov. Maura Healey. "By helping cities and towns repair and maintain local roads, we're making every day travel safer, supporting local economies and easing the burden on municipal budgets — so residents can see and feel the impact of their government at work."
According to MassDOT, projects are selected based on pavement condition data, the proportion of state numbered routes in poor condition in a municipality and geographic equity. MassDOT works closely with selected communities to develop a scope of work for each roadway segment. All work is conducted by MassDOT contractors in coordination with the municipality.
