A long overdue project to revamp one of the most dangerous intersections for crashes in the region has the green light to proceed.
The design is complete and $19 million in funding is in place for major upgrades to Springfield’s “X” intersection in the city’s Forest Park neighborhood.
The “X” connects three major streets – Sumner Avenue, Dickinson Street, and Belmont Avenue in a busy commercial section.
For more on the project, WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Springfield DPW Director Chris Cignoli.
