Randolph Ave (Route 28)

Randolph Ave Road Diet

Beginning in October, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will be implementing a road diet on Randolph Ave (Route 28) between Reedsdale Road and Chickatawbut Road. 

MassDOT has published a project page with additional information and a dedicated project email here: https://www.mass.gov/milton-route-28-road-diet-pilot 

MassDOT previously met with the Select Board twice to discuss changes to Randolph Ave in the immediate wake of a tragic crash that caused three fatalities on July 5, 2025 and due to a history of high speeds and crashes along this corridor.

July 22, 2025 Select Board Meeting

At the July 22, 2025 Select Board meeting, officials from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation met with the Select Board to discuss potential changes to Route 28 / Randolph Avenue between Reedsdale Road and Chickatawbut Road to address crashes and speeding issues. 

MassDOT officials introduced a potential quick-build pilot road diet, which would reduce the number of lanes of Route 28 / Randolph Ave in order to reduce speeds and increase safety. 

The meeting video is available through the Milton Access TV YouTube page at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvg0TfnYgOQ
