The Massachusetts Highway Department (MassHighway) is separated into five district offices, all of which operate under the direction of the central Boston office at:
MassHighway's Boston office makes the policy decisions that lead to the road improvement projects that are planned or are ongoing across the Commonwealth. Under the direction of Commissioner Luisa Paiewonsky, MassHighway identifies roads and bridges that are in need of repair, reconstruction, or replacement, and works to make the appropriate upgrades. MassHighway's priority is safety with as little inconvenience as possible to Massachusetts motorists.
Each district is under the direction of the District Highway Director (DHD) who reports to the Chief Engineer. The District Office supervises all construction within its jurisdiction; performs on-site engineering; implements maintenance and preventive maintenance programs; generates proposals for maintenance and construction work; and provides engineering support to cities and towns.
