The Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) is working with Yonkers Construction Co. (YCC) to reconstruct the Atlantic Street & Metro North Rail Road Bridge in Stamford. The $36.5-million state-funded project is to be completed by June 2018 and will address the structural deficiencies of the existing bridge, increase the substandard vertical clearance and widen the structure to improve traffic operations. The existing deficient vertical clearance and narrow width result in a traffic pinch point for north-south traffic. “It took about 10 years to get the project from feasibility study to construction,” said James YCC used a truss screed machine to establish grades and provide a uniform Pelletier Jr., P.E., ConnDOT finish on the new exit 8 flyover bridge. transportation supervising engineer. “The current project is Phase I, which includes the Atlantic Avenue sees 18,000 VPD, Atlantic s/o Manhattan ramp bridge and walls along South State Street.

FHWA Grants FONSI for RIDOT’s First Two Toll Locations The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) received notification from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) that the Environmental Assessment process has been concluded for the first two locations for all-electronic truck-only tolling to be built along I-95 in southern Rhode Island. The FHWA determined that the implementation of the proposed action would not have a significant impact on the human environment and signed a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Environmental Assessment, conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This independent analysis by the Federal Highway Administration is based on the Environmental Assessment and subject to a public comment period, including a Nov. 21 public hearing, and concluded that “agency and public concerns have been properly considered in the deployment of this project, and all comments have been resolved.” “We thank the FHWA for their diligence in this matter,” said Peter Alviti Jr., RIDOT director. “The Finding of No

Significant Impact confirms what we have been saying all along, that truck-only tolling will not have an adverse impact on the communities along our highways. It is a fair system addressing a user fee for the large trucks who do the most damage to our roads and bridges, and will provide a dedicated and reliable revenue stream to help maintain our transportation system.” The FONSI indicates that the Environmental Assessment provides “sufficient evidence and analysis for determining that an Environmental Impact Statement is not required,” and that the FHWA “takes full responsibility for the accuracy, scope and content” of the Environmental Assessment. RIDOT will direct its tolling contractor to begin final design of the tolling gantries and associated technology. Construction of the gantries themselves is expected to take place in January, with a period of testing to follow. RIDOT anticipates revenue collection to begin by late February, but only go live with the system when the tolling contractor has certified that all systems are working properly.

Toll Locations 1 and 2 are both located along Interstate 95 (I-95) in the southwestern part of Rhode Island. Each toll location functions independently of one another and is associated with the reconstruction or replacement of specific bridges in accordance with the Rhode Island Bridge Replacement, Reconstruction, and Maintenance Fund state law known as RhodeWorks and consistent with requirements set forth in 23 C.F.R 129. The bridges at Locations 1 and 2 are the Wood River Valley Bridge, the northbound and southbound Tefft Hill Trail Bridges, and the Baker Pines Bridge. The proposed toll systems at Toll Locations 1 and 2 will be used to collect toll revenues from tractor or truck tractors, pulling a trailer or trailers as defined in 23 C.F.R. 658.5, and as defined in the Rhode Island Bridge Replacement, Reconstruction and Maintenance Fund, also known as the RhodeWorks legislation.

State Awards Contract to Fix Dilapidated Interchange By Jennifer McDermott ASSOCIATED PRESS

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Rhode Island plans to rebuild a dilapidated highway interchange, making it safer for the 90,000 vehicles that traverse it daily and eliminating the millions of dollars the state spends on minor fixes.

The state Department of Transportation signed a contract on Dec. 21 with 6/10 Constructors, a design and build team of companies with ties to Rhode Island and New England. The interchange of Routes 6 and 10 needs an urgent fix because seven of its nine bridges are structurally deficient, said Peter Alviti, DOT director. The state has been planning the $410 million project for 30 years.

The department said it has spent $5 million on temporary repairs this year to keep the corridor safe and open. Alviti called the interchange an “iconic symbol” of the state’s failure to properly address decaying infrastructure in the past. The project is possible now because the state approved a 10-year roads plan last year and new truck tolls to pay for it, Alviti said. Tolls will be collected near the interchange. “We’re excited to finally dust off the 30-year-old plans and actually get the job done,” he said. The DOT expects the design to be ready in one year. During that time, the environmental impacts of construction will be assessed. The project is scheduled to be complete in 2023. A ceremony to mark its commencement is planned for Jan. 8. “Fixing the bridges on the 6-10 Interchange and improving the traffic pattern will ensure that Rhode Island drivers are safe and will add to our quality of life,” Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo said. State and city officials have agreed on the urgent need to fix structurally deficient bridges, but they’ve disagreed over how and whether to repair or replace them. They announced a compromise plan a year ago that blends their ideas. The plan adds a direct connection from Route 10 northbound to Route 6 westbound. It includes new bike paths for pedestrians and bicyclists traveling over Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor railroad tracks. Half of today’s Huntington Viaduct will be demolished and replaced with surface roads. Some of the altered roads will open up land for real estate development. The Transportation Department requested a design-build contract so construction and design can proceed simultaneously, with accelerated bridge construction methods. Hundreds of construction jobs will be created, Alviti said. The contract award is for $248 million. That’s $20 million less than state engineers had estimated. It’s the largest single construction contract awarded by the department. The total cost is estimated at $410 million because parts of the project need to be done by other entities, including utility companies and Amtrak. Eighty percent of the cost will be paid by the federal government, and the rest is state funding, Alviti said.

Report Identifies Bridges in Need of Repair, Replacement Fourteen percent of bridges statewide and nine percent of bridges in Southern Maine are structurally deficient according to a new report released Nov. 1 by TRIP, a Washington, DC-based national transportation organization. A bridge is structurally deficient if there is significant deterioration of the bridge deck, supports or other major components. The TRIP report, “Preserving Maine’s Bridges: The Condition and Funding Needs of Maine’s Aging Bridge System,” finds that Maine has the ninth highest rate of structurally deficient bridges in the nation. In Southern Maine, which includes Cumberland and York Counties, 53 of the 566 bridges (20 ft. or longer) are structurally deficient. Bridges that are structurally deficient may be posted for lower weight limits or closed if their condition warrants such action. Deteriorated bridges can have a significant impact on daily life. Restrictions on vehicle weight may cause many vehicles — especially emergency vehicles, commercial trucks, school buses and farm equipment — to use alternate routes to avoid weight-restricted bridges. Redirected trips also lengthen travel time, waste fuel and reduce the efficiency of the local economy. MaineDOT’s current funding for state bridge repairs is $105 million annually, but a 2014 report found that the state should be spending $140 million annually to maintain bridges in their current condition and $217 million annually to make significant progress in improving the condition of the state’s bridges. Early findings from an updated bridge analysis being conducted by MaineDOT indicate that the annual cost to maintain the state’s bridges in their current condition has increased significantly from the 2014 estimate. A significant number of Maine’s bridges were built from the 1950s through the 1970s and have surpassed or are approaching 50 years old, which is typically the intended design life for bridges built during this era. The average age of Maine’s bridges is 52 years. The cost of repairing and preserving bridges increases as they age and as they reach the end of their intended design life. “Maine’s businesses and employers alike rely on transportation systems to connect them to their workforce and to connect that workforce with suppliers and customers around the state and around the globe,” said Dana Connors, president of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce. “Ensuring that our bridges continue to be safe, and addressing the backlog of needs in roads, bridges and all transportation infrastructure is critical to growing our economy. We can and we must do better to make

transportation funding a higher priority for our state.” The TRIP report includes lists of the 25 most heavily traveled structurally deficient bridges in Southern Maine,

Bangor and Central Maine. It also includes lists of the 25 structurally deficient bridges in each region that have the lowest average rating for deck, substructure and superstructure. The report’s appendix includes a list of all structurally deficient bridges in Maine that carry more than 500 vehicles per day. Ten of the most heavily-traveled, structurally deficient bridges in the Southern Maine region are: Cumberland County: • I-295/Route 88 (NB) • I-295/Route 88 (SB) • Routes 9 & 22/Stroudwater River • I-95 (NB)/Stroudwater River • Route 24/U.S. 1 • U.S. 1/M C RR • Routes 125 and 136/I-295 York County: • U.S. 1/Saco River (N of E Chan) • Route 4/Mousam River • U.S. 1/Kennebunk River The following structurally deficient bridges in Southern Maine have the lowest average rating for deck, substructure and superstructure (carrying a minimum of 500 vehicles per day): Cumberland County: • U.S. 1/M C RR • Spring Street/Stroudwater River • U.S. 202/Collyer Brook • U.S. 202/Little River •Lambert Street/Presumpscot River York County: • Beech Ridge Road/Dolly Gordon Brook • Route 5/Little Ossipee River • Route 11/Pump Box Brook • U.S. 1/Kennebunk River • Route 9/B&M RR Each major component of a bridge is rated on a scale of zero to nine, with a score of four or below indicating poor condition. If a bridge receives a rating of four or below for its deck, substructure or superstructure, it is rated as structurally deficient. A list of the 25 bridges in Southern Maine with the lowest average sufficiency rating is included in the report. To view the entire list, visit tripnet.org/docs/ME_Bridge_TRIP_Report_Appendix_20 17.pdf. “We must invest wisely in infrastructure improvements that not only account for today’s needs, but also prioritize needs for the future,” said Pat Moody, manager of public affairs for AAA Northern New England. “With 2016 highway fatalities topping 37,000 last year and marking the highest total since 2008, we must invest in our highway system to promote efficiency, reduce congestion and reduce the deaths and injuries on our roadways.” “Maine’s bridges are a critical component of the state’s transportation system, providing crucial connections for personal mobility, economic growth and quality of life,” said Will Wilkins, TRIP’s executive director. “Without increased and reliable transportation funding, numerous projects to improve and preserve Maine’s aging bridges will not move forward, hampering the state’s ability to efficiently and safety move people and goods.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

New Hampshire Group Finishes Northern Pass Project Hearings CONCORD (AP) New Hampshire regulators completed their hearings on the Northern Pass project and planned to start their deliberations in December. In April, hearings before the state Site Evaluation Committee began on the $1.6 billion plan to bring hydropower from Canada to southern New England markets.

mission line to connect with Northern Pass at the U.S. border. Eric Martel, president and CEO of HydroQuebec, said the permit approval “marks a major milestone, adding one more key authorization to those that have already been granted on both sides of the border.” The U.S. Department of Energy granted a permit for the project in November. Northern Pass also has formal contracts with suppliers and a labor agreement with construction managers and unions. It hopes to start construction in the spring of 2018. The project has pitted supporters who argue it will create jobs and cut energy costs against those who fear the transmission lines will destroy scenic views, reduce property values and hurt tourism.

PITTSFIELD, Maine (AP) Maine-based construction company Cianbro (shin-BRO) Corp. said it’s planning to hire 300 workers in 2018. The company employs 1,350 people in Maine and is looking for new people in jobs and trades needed for large projects in the state. One job is a federal contract with the U.S. Navy to make improvements at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. The Morning Sentinel reports the company plans for the new workers to be full-time, long-term employees. Cianbro chairman Peter Vigue said the company’s projects in the state range from Kittery to Bangor. He said the positions include project managers, iron workers, entry-level construction workers and many others. The company also said earlier this year that it planned to expand a workforce development center in Pittsfield that provides training.

Vermont’s First Wind Farm Begins Commercial Operation Avangrid Renewables, a subsidiary of AVANGRID, Inc. began commercial operation at its newest wind farm, and first in Vermont, the Deerfield Wind Farm, in the towns of Readsboro and Searsburg on Dec. 29. The new wind farm construction, which created nearly 200 jobs at its peak and millions of dollars of local spending, is the first wind farm on U.S. Forest Service land in the country. “This project in concept has been at the forefront of our program of work for many years,” said John Sinclair, forest supervisor of the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests. “Today we are proud to recognize the dedicated USFS employees, local leaders, partners and

government agencies that have contributed countless hours of work toward making the development of our nation’s first commercial-scale wind energy facility on National Forest System lands a reality here in Vermont.” The two towns combined will receive direct annual payments expected to total $6.8 million over the life of the project, and the wind farm will generate an estimated $6 million in tax payments to the state to support education funding. “This project took a long time, but will deliver big benefits for everyone in Searsburg,” said Searsburg board member and town energy coordinator Mike Johnson. “It’s a giant boost for clean energy, and we believe the winds of time will

prove their worth.” We are thankful for a job well done,” said Helyn Strom-Henriksen, the Selectboard chair from the town of Readsboro. “We are looking forward to the positive impacts this project will have on the area.” The 30-megawatt wind farm includes 15 Siemens Gamesa wind turbines which produce enough clean, renewable energy to power roughly 14,000 average Vermont homes annually. Avangrid Renewables will own and operate the wind farm, and sell the energy to Green Mountain Power under a 25-year power purchase agreement. “We are able to celebrate this milestone because of the hard work of our many

partners, especially at the local level,” said Dave Carroll, vice president of projects for Avangrid Renewables. “Working with Green Mountain Power, the U.S. Forest Service, and the local communities means we’re able to create clean energy and local economic benefits in rural Vermont.” The Deerfield Wind Farm construction has spent roughly $7.5 million locally to date. More than 25 New England-based companies worked on the wind farm, including 11 from Vermont, supplying a range of services from labor and materials to engineering and electrical work.

We are using a Bauer BG 20 and a Casagrande B125 pile drilling rig for this installation. The concrete requires a simulated masonry finish, which adds the weight of form liner to the wall forms. We are using a Manitowoc 888 crane to remove and set this formwork.” The project’s location in downtown Stamford makes minimizing the impact on traf-

bridge was constructed around 1890 and rehabilitated in the 1980s. The Exit 8 northbound flyover bridge will create a mid-block touchdown of the off ramp, decreasing traffic tie-ups at Atlantic Street and eliminating the likelihood of traffic backing up onto the interstate as was common prior to construction. The midblock ramp touchdown allows right turns onto Canal Street, a traffic movement that was not allowed when the ramp touched down at Atlantic Street due to the adjacent South Canal Street traffic lanes. “The final roadway configuration will include six lanes of vehicle access under the reconstructed MNRR bridge and additional The current project is Phase I, which includes the ramp bridge and walls along South State turning lanes along Atlantic Street at the Street. intersections of South State Street, Manhattan Street and Dock Street and Station Place,” Pelletier said. On the railroad side, the primary focus of the project is the addition of Track 7, providing improved access to the MNRR New Cannon Line. Prior to construction, the Atlantic Street rail bridge was a pinch point in the rail line. Like any project, the contractor and ConnDOT found unexpected challenges along the way. “Due to significant increases in the amount of rock encountered under the railroad tracks, Aaron Enterprises, a subcontractor to YCC., proposed to auger the duct ports instead of using traditional pipe jacking methods,” Pelletier said. “Because the bits wanted to ‘walk’ along the sloped rock face, keeping the augers online proved difficult.

USDOT Releases $100M in Grants for MBTA Green Line Extension The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced that it will issue $100 million in grant funding to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) for its Green Line Extension (GLX) light rail project. The grant represents the first installment of Capital Investment Grants (CIG) Program funding for the GLX after the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) signed a Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) with MBTA for the 4.7-mi. light rail line from Cambridge to Medford. “Governor Charlie Baker’s commitment to responsibly manage taxpayer dollars in the building of this project was persuasive,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao. “The region can now look forward to an enhanced transportation network as the Green Line is extended to serve tens of thousands of area residents daily.” FTA is providing these funds after MBTA completed a series of reviews to redesign the GLX project to contain costs without sacrificing schedule. MBTA’s strengthened project management team and governance structure, including a Fiscal and Management Control Board created in 2015 by Gov. Baker and the Massachusetts Legislature, were critical factors in moving the FFGA grant forward. “[Due] to the hard work and collaboration of Secretary Chao, State Transportation

Secretary Pollack, and the cities of Cambridge, Somerville and Medford, this important project is moving ahead,” said Baker. “The Green Line Extension project will provide important public transit service that will have a transformational impact for this region of the Commonwealth to accommodate riders and spur economic growth.” The FFGA, signed in 2015, provides $996 million in federal funds toward the $2.3 billion total cost of the GLX. “FTA is proud to support the transportation needs of the greater Boston area by helping to extend rail service into some of its most densely populated communities,” said FTA Deputy Administrator K. Jane Williams. “The GLX project will provide improved mobility and expanded transit service to riders traveling throughout the MBTA system.” The project adheres to the scope and benefits identified in the FFGA, including six new light rail stations, replacement or rehabilitation of eight bridges, and a new pedestrian/bike path. The GLX is projected to open in January 2022. MBTA is the largest transit provider in New England and the fifth largest in the country based on ridership.

Outdoor Demolition Begins on Burlington Mall Redevelopment BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) Outdoor demolition has begun on a downtown mall in Vermont’s largest city. MyChamplainValley.com reports crews started tearing down Burlington Town Center on Dec. 14. Developers are planning to turn the area into Burlington City Place, which would include 272 housing units, 230,000 sq. ft. of office space and more than 900 parking spaces. The Burlington City Council approved the $225 million project in October. The project caused concern among monthly customers who use the mall’s

current 500-space parking garage. Developer Don Sinex said the garage will be the last to be demolished, and customers have been moved to other locations. Sinex did not share potential tenants, but he said one “large tenant” is interested in the space. The redevelopment is set to be complete in 2020.
