Workers have demolished several houses along Route 2 in Lincoln and removed trees and brush as work on the state project to make the area around Crosby’s Corner—for which planning began in 1994—has finally begun.

The state Department of Transportation (MassDOT) awarded the project in June 2012 to D.W. White Construction, Inc. of Acushnet. This town web page offers contact information, weekly construction updates, and a public information presentation from October 2012 that includes photos of the work area and a history of the project.
