Massachusetts DOT will hold an industry day forum on Oct. 15 and 16 at 10 Park Plaza in Boston to showcase two potential P3 opportunities—Route 3 South managed lanes and a third crossing of the Cape Cod canal, including a possible twinning of the Sagamore Bridge.

Sixteen law firms submitted qualifications to MassDOT this month for a shot at helping it devise a process for procuring development teams under the state’s untested P3 law (Chapter 5 of the Special Acts of 2009, Sect. 62-73). Environmental consultants also will be added to advise on state and federal permitting.
