(EB/WB) over ST 32/Thorndike Street & ST 67/Boston Road and Bridge Replacement, P-01-054 (4MB), Flynt Street over I-90 (Design-Build)

What is happening?
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation – Highway Division (MassDOT) will be holding a virtual Design Public Hearing regarding MassDOT Project No. 616433 in Palmer.

This meeting will discuss the replacement of the Interstate 90 (I-90 / Massachusetts Turnpike) bridge superstructures over Thorndike Street (Route 32) and Boston Road (Route 67), as well as the reconstruction of the Flynt Street bridge over I-90. This project will include roadway reconstruction, pavement milling and overlay, drainage improvements, traffic management that includes temporary highway lane crossovers, temporary precast movable ("zipper") barriers, pavement markings and signage, and overhead and underground utility relocations.

How will this affect you?
The reconstruction of these bridges is anticipated to be completed on one side of I-90 at a time. Accelerated bridge demolition, construction, and temporary traffic crossovers will occur during weekends only. The proposed project will also include a detour for the Flynt Street bridge replacement and limited weekend detours to Thorndike Street and Boston Road.

Attention Palmer Community Members!

Public Hearing: Proposed Community Choice Power Supply Program (Aggregation Plan)
With: Town of Palmer and Titan Energy
When: Monday, September 14, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.
Where: Town Administration Building, 4417 Main Street, Palmer, MA.
Why: The hearing will provide residents and other interested parties with an opportunity to learn about the program and comment on the proposed Aggregation Plan before it is submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities.

The purpose of this Plan is to represent consumer interests in competitive markets for electricity. It seeks to aggregate consumers in the Town to negotiate rates for power supply. It brings together the buying power of eligible consumers throughout Palmer. Furthermore, the Town seeks to better manage energy prices. Participation is voluntary for each eligible consumer.

The Town of Palmer developed the Aggregation Plan in compliance with Massachusetts law regarding public aggregation of electric consumers. It contains required information on the structure, operations, services, funding, and policies of the Town’s Plan. The Plan has been developed in consultation with the Town’s aggregation implementation consultant, Titan Energy, and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER).
