Transport and Related Services

The state Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has awarded Raytheon Co. a $130 million contract award to develop an electronic toll collection system that will replace tolls around the state, covering ones on the Mass. Pike and the summer/Callahan and Ted Williams tunnels.

The setting up process of the All Electronic Tolling System is likely to start in April 2015 and go on through December 2015. The first stage of the project will be the transformation of the Weston/Route 128 Interchange.

Along with a team of Massachusetts-based companies; Raytheon will convert and reinstate all manual cash and electronic toll collection systems with a system that will automatically toll vehicles as they drive under a structure that features an overhead sign. Drivers will be able to move through the toll station at highway speeds without the need to slow down or stop.Read complete  story athttp://www.tendersontime.com/blog-detail/raytheon-secures-130-million-electronic-toll-collection-system-contract-278.php
