From Middleborough to New Bedford and Fall River, MassDOT's contractor will replace a total of 46 culverts with new precast structures, clean an additional 16 existing culverts and remove one out-of-service culvert. Existing granite culverts are being replaced with new precast concrete structures.

This project also includes constructing six wetlands impact mitigation areas adjacent to the railroad right-of-way.
