It’s beginning to look a lot like…….The new and improved Route 100. New pedestrian-scaled light poles and LED fixtures are being installed along areas where new sidewalks are proposed on Gray Road.

 

Intersection

The new traffic signal mast arms, signals, and control systems are installed and are being ‘wired in’.  At Leighton Road (above), all the old traffic signals and mast arms have been removed. Once completed at this intersection, similar work will occur at the Gray/Falmouth/Mountain Road intersection.
