Nonantum Road improvements

Nonantum Road improvements in Watertown and Brighton planned to start later this year are described in the Watertown TAB. Major changes include:

• Reduce the number of lanes on Nonantum from four ten-foot lanes to two eleven-foot lanes (one lane in each direction)
• A four-foot flush median running down the center of the road.
• Three-foot shoulders added to each side of the road to allow for safe vehicle stops and a safe place for bicycle commuters to ride
• Reconstruction of the shared use path - widening the space, installing a new guardrail along the entire length of the curbed side, installing a wood-rail fence along the embankment side, and replacing current lighting with more energy efficient and attractive historic lighting
