Greenfield traffic signal upgrades a go

[ Originally published on: Saturday, November 07, 2009 ]

GREENFIELD -- The state will begin its upgrade of the town's eight major intersection traffic signals on Monday.

The 40-year-old traffic lights will be replaced, new curbing, sidewalks and wheelchair ramps will be installed, draining work will be done and new signs and pavement markings will be installed.

The $27.5 million project, paid for with a state grant, will be overseen by the Massachusetts Highway Department, which has hired E.T.&L. Corp. of Stowe to do the construction.

Laurence F. Petrin, engineering superintendent for the Town of Greenfield, said some work on the sidewalks and curbing at Conway and Allen streets and at Deerfield Street, Mill Street and Bank Row will be done this fall.
