Boston, MA
The Silver Line Enhancement Project aimed to improve the handicap accessibility of a transit line along Essex Street in Boston, MA. The sidewalks' reconstruction included areaways over basements below the sidewalk. The businesses under the areaways were to remain operational, and Essex Street remained open during construction. Additionally, Essex Street was milled, paved, and marked for the Busway express lanes construction. A new bus passenger shelter was installed, and a dedicated bus lane was created by installing a colored asphalt coating on the roadway and imprinted thermoplastic pavement markings. The project also included renovating an operator's building at Dudley Station and constructing a new standalone public bathroom building at Dudley Station.
