Procurement Launched for Massachusetts Road and Bridge Replacement Project; Construction to Begin Winter 2027

en.Wedoany.com Reported, The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) announced on March 26, 2026, that the Cape Cod road and bridge project has reached a new milestone with the release of a Request for Expressions of Interest for the Sagamore Bridge replacement project. MassDOT will subsequently issue a Request for Qualifications and a Request for Proposals, aiming to select a design-build team and issue a Notice to Proceed by the end of 2027. Construction of the new Sagamore Bridge is scheduled to begin in the winter of 2027-2028.

Acting Transportation Secretary Phil Eng stated, "Delivering critical transportation road and bridge projects on time and on budget is one of the best ways we serve the communities and residents who depend on a sound transportation system. Engaging with the industry and potential bidders demonstrates our commitment to replacing the Sagamore Bridge." This road and bridge project will benefit Cape Cod's 230,000 permanent residents and over 5 million annual visitors, creating thousands of jobs. Undersecretary and State Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver added that releasing the Expressions of Interest lays the groundwork for a competitive procurement process.

The Cape Cod road and bridge project, led by MassDOT in collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Highway Administration, will replace the 90-year-old Sagamore and Bourne Bridges, the only road connections between Cape Cod and the mainland. The Sagamore Bridge replacement constitutes the project's first phase and will also include road realignments on Routes 6 and 3, local road reconstruction, and new bicycle and pedestrian paths. MassDOT has applied for over $1 billion in federal grants for the Bourne Bridge replacement. The road and bridge project scope encompasses bridge construction, traffic management, stormwater improvements, environmental permitting, and more, with environmental reviews currently underway.
