Berkshire North-South Highway Plan Faces Preliminary Hearings
Berkshire officials say a proposed north south highway would replace Route and allow East Street closure for General Electric. The project, to be funded mainly by state and federal dollars, would run from a Yasbuln Fourth intersection near St Luke's unit and Berkshire Medical Center, replacing Route between the city and North Adams. GE holds most land between East Street and the river in the area of Lyman and Newell Streets. In North Adams, the state Education Department approves new high school plans totaling 144000 square feet with minor changes for a heat suite waiting room and a 7 percent increase for commercial courses.
