In coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), MassDOT is undertaking the Cape Cod Bridges Program to address identified transportation-related needs within the town of Bourne, including the structural, geometric, and operational deficiencies of the Cape Cod Canal highway bridges, the immediate mainline approaches and their adjacent interchanges and intersections; severe peak period traffic congestion and higher than average crash rates; and lack of accessible bicycle and pedestrian accommodations and connections between existing facilities.
Conceptual plans were presented by MassDOT at an Open House in November 2024. The presentation included renderings of what the bridge may look like including the conceptual designs for the approaches to both bridges. The presentation slides can be accessed on the following link:
