The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is announcing it will be performing roadway corridor improvements along a section of Route 151 in Mashpee. The work will begin on Thursday, March 10, 2022 and will take place weekly, Monday through Friday, during daytime hours from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The work is anticipated to continue through March 2025. The roadway reconstruction operations will start approximately 1,400 feet west of the Old Barnstable Road intersection and will end at the Mashpee Rotary.
The work will consist of improvements to bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicle access along the corridor. The work will also consist of pavement reconstruction, box widening, milling and paving, pavement markings, traffic signal upgrades, new signs, drainage system upgrades and the installation of curbing. A shared-use path will be constructed on the north side of the roadway and a five-foot sidewalk along most of the south side of the roadway. In addition, landscaping operations will be conducted along the corridor.
Standard temporary traffic control operations will consist of lane restrictions and alternating one-way traffic. Construction signs, message boards, arrow boards, drums and police details will be utilized.
Drivers who are traveling through the affected areas should expect delays, reduce speed, and use caution.
All scheduled work is weather dependent and/or may be impacted due to an emergency.

Bourne Rotary - New traffic pattern now in place
This new traffic pattern is intended to improve safety and traffic operations by restriping the rotary with two lanes, adding a channelized right turn lane from Route 28 northbound to Sandwich Road eastbound and adding a right turn lane from Route 28 southbound to Trowbridge Road.
Changes to the traffic pattern at the rotary are highlighted in the below images and a PDF that is available by clicking here.
