Program of Projects

The Town of Florence is seeking industry feedback and perspective on a potential public-private partnership for a program of projects that would improve connectivity and transportation infrastructure in the town. The program includes multiple road projects that would provide better emergency response, connectivity, economic development, and redundancy in local transportation networks. The town is looking for input on interest and preliminary considerations for a successful public-private partnership. Respondents are encouraged to submit detailed comments and participate in one-on-one meetings to discuss their responses and provide additional input. Key aspects of the project include: • Establishing a continuous north-south roadway connection between two major east-west transportation corridors • Providing a river crossing to improve connectivity and network resiliency • Supporting local circulation, emergency response, and municipal service access • Enhancing traffic distribution and balance loads across the roadway network • Reducing travel time, congestion, and conflict points within residential and commercial areas • Improving emergency response times and access to public safety and service vehicles • Providing a more predictable and efficient travel route for daily commuters and local businesses • Supporting existing businesses and facilitating future development opportunities along the corridor
