Safety improvements coming for Fairhaven’s Alden Road and Route 6

“SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS COMING FOR ALDEN ROAD AND ROUTE 6 IN FAIRHAVEN:

I have received confirmation from Mass DOT Administrator Jonathan Gulliver that redesign and signal repairs are coming to the intersection of Alden Road and Route 6 in Fairhaven.

You will be seeing pedestrian ramps and new pedestrian safety signals for the four corners of the intersection. This is a dangerous area now and the re-design is underway with construction to occur this summer. I brought this to Mass DOT’s attention last year as a result of requests to me by local residents.

Thank you for reaching out to me and thank you to Administrator Gulliver for responding with this plan and committing over $200,000 in state money to this safety fix.” -Rep Bill Straus.
