GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The state Department of Transportation will provide $385,000 to improve a half-mile section of Route 23 near the Monterey town line.

 

The project will take place during the 2023 construction season, which is shaping up with infrastructure projects throughout town.

 

"This is a sizable contribution from DOT for an important project that's among many happening around town during the upcoming construction season," said Joe Aberdale, the town's superintendent of public works.

 

His department will announce additional projects in the coming weeks, as spring construction season approaches.

 

The Route 23 work includes repaving, drainage, lane markings, guardrail, and erosion controls on the east-west route connecting Great Barrington to points east
