The Town of Hingham Engineering Department is constructing new sidewalk on North Street and within the Lincoln Street Right-of-Way, and making other associated improvements to improve accessibility, and pedestrian and traffic safety at the intersection. The improvements will include the construction of new sidewalk, the reconstruction of existing sidewalk to improve accessibility, the installation of an RRFB system at a new crosswalk, and relocation and installation of new streetlights and steps within the right-of-way. Ancillary work will include the installation of conduit and the removal of utility poles, and incidental landscaping as required.
The work is being constructed as the beneficiary of a MassDOT Shared Streets Grant, and a MassDOT VRU RRFB equipment grant.
