Work has begun on the first phase of the South Coast Rail project that will construct two new railroad stations that will provide commuter access to Boston. The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority awarded contracts to a contracting team of Skanska, New York, N.Y., and D.W. White, Gainesville, Fla., for the $159 million project for work that began in July and is expected to be completed in the autumn of 2023. Skanska/D.W. White will perform the majority of work with the assistance of subcontractors to upgrade the right-of-way, including track, ties and ballast, as well as building two new stations in see RAIL page 12
Cooks Incorporated performed tree pruning operations along the rail line from Elm Street to High Street in Freetown, Mass.
Rhode Island DOT Provides Update on I-95 Providence Viaduct Project It’s safe to say that if you’ve ever driven on Interstate 95 northbound in Providence, R.I., near the mall, you’ve put your life in other people’s steeringwheel-gripping hands. This area, known as the Providence Viaduct, had more than 1,000 vehicle crashes between 2009 and 2014 and can back up for several miles during rush hour. “This corridor has easily become the most congested section of highway in the state,” Anthony Pompei, a project manager of the Rhode Island
Department of Transportation (RIDOT), said during a Dec. 10 online presentation. “The existing Providence viaduct was originally constructed back in the ’60s to carry I-95 through downtown Providence and was [built] to carry less than 60,000 vehicles per day. This corridor now processes nearly four times that amount, making it the third-most traveled interstate in all of New England.” The I-95 south-side section of the
viaduct was revamped in 2017, but the northbound section — which includes ramps to and from downtown, an exit to Rhode Island state offices, and connections to Route 146 and the 6/10 Connector — has suffered not only from traffic backlogs and accidents but also crumbling infrastructure. “Carrying significantly more traffic than it was initially designed for has also led to the accelerated deterioration see VIADUCT page 6
