Public comment is being accepted until June 10 on the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s draft five-year Capital Investment Plan for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, which proposes investing $20.5 billion into transportation projects that would support a series of bridges and roads in Franklin and Hampshire counties.

Each year, MassDOT updates its Capital Investment Plan to map out transportation projects and spending over the course of five fiscal years. According to the draft plan, this includes spending on roadways, bridges, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, rail, transit, airports, Registry of Motor Vehicle capital needs and more.

This five-year Capital Investment Plan draft is accepting comments from residents until Wednesday, June 10. Those interested in participating can email massCIP@state.ma.us, or mail their comments to the MassDOT Office of Transportation Planning, Attn: Manager of Capital Planning, 10 Park Plaza, Room 4150, Boston, MA 02116.
