It took a while, but the project on the books for at least three decades is finally under way and moving smoothly. The $410 million 6/10 reconstruction is the largest construction contract put out in the history of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT). At its heart is a design build project to rebuild the Route 6/10 interchange west of downtown Providence in the neighborhood of Olneyville. The ramps and bridges comprising the interchange, originally built in the 1950s, had fallen into such a state of disrepair over the years, that seven of the nine bridges were rated structurally

deficient. “It was held up with temporary steel supports underneath for so long that we had to support the supports,” said RIDOT spokesman Charles St. Martin III. “It’s a major connector interchange. When you add all the cars, you’re talking about 100,000 vehicles a day using it. The project sat on the drawing board for literally 30 years. We had an administration change and Gov. Gina Raimondo made it a priority and got it off the drawing board.” The design build team, dubbed 6/10 Constructors, features Barletta Heavy Division, O&G Industries, DW White Construction and Aetna Bridge Company. The interchanges connect the two-

to-three lane limited access Route 6 with I-295 to the three- lane Route 10 that connects to Cranston and then up to I-95 in Providence. When the highway was originally built, it didn’t include a connection from 10 northbound to 6 westbound, St. Martin said. The only option was to get off the exit before or after and wind your way through city streets. That “missing move,” will be remedied by a new connector coming from 10 northbound to 6 westbound, “flying” over the interchange and meeting back with Route 6. “That’s a pretty large feature of the interchange,” St. Martin said. “It’s tall, the piers come out of the ground now see RECONSTRUCTION page 4

Temp Supports Hold Up Supports, So Time for New Bridges The project is scheduled for completion Nov. 20, 2023.

and people say, ‘Wow, that’s really tall.’ The other major feature of the project is an elevated viaduct that is being demolished. The highway will be lowered, so you are removing a lot of elevated infrastructure, a lot of visual and physical blocks. The highway is being lowered and the cross streets — Westminster Street and Broadway — are being rebuilt across Route 10. You’re going up visually and creating better pedestrian access.” The challenges on the job are many, said project manager Jay McGinn. There are miles of utilities to be moved, including a major gas line, multiple communication and electrical lines, a significant amount of steel and concrete work and one particularly tricky component involving a century old piece of masonry infrastructure. “On the approach to the flyover we had a criteria for zero settlement over a 100-year-old brick sewer line that runs underneath,” said McGinn. “It’s an old-fashioned New England sewer. The abutment goes to the bridge. It’s about 37 feet high. All that new soil would put too much stress on the brick sewer. RIDOT, the Federal Highway Administration and the contractor, put our heads together to solve this problem. We found a case study out of Philadelphia where this was used over a brick sewer and it worked out very well. The designer investigated it and the contractor looked at what they needed to do and found it was the best solution.” The project calls for the usual heavy equipment associated with new bridges and roadway, but one crane is particularly impressive, McGinn said. “We just had a meeting today to talk about a big crane we rented. We’ve been using a 300-ton Liebherr crane, and just see RECONSTRUCTION page 12

Cianbro Leads North Hero-Grand Isle Drawbridge Project By Sara Lawrence CEG CORRESPONDENT

When the state of Vermont received the go-ahead to begin discussing the logistics of replacing Bridge 8 on US 2, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) jumped at the opportunity. The historic bridge, which is the state’s only vehicular movable bridge, was originally built in 1953 to carry US 2 over Lake Champlain between the towns of North Hero and Grand Isle. The $60 million project was awarded to Maine-based contractor Cianbro and construction began in July 2018. Cianbro is headquartered in Pittsfield, Maine, but has operations providing construction project services in more than 40 states. The company, which is recognized by the Associated Builders and Contractors Inc. as an Accredited Quality Contractor, is best known for its skill in managing major projects and offering insight into up-to-date construction techniques. Additionally, Cianbro is working alongside three other subcontractors, each with their own niche-focus within the construction process. These include G.W. Tatro for earthwork services, Maverick for demolition tasks The historic bridge, which is the state’s only vehicular movable bridge, was originally built in 1953 to carry US 2 over Lake and Maine Drilling and Blasting for drilling Champlain between the towns of North Hero and Grand Isle. needs. The initial push to replace the twin leaf bascule of 75 to 100 years. Todd Sumner, VTrans Project Manager, said, “The bridge came because the mechanical components of the bridge were aged and worn despite the structure being new bridge will not be an exact replica of the existing, in good physical shape. The state spent $1 million on but will be similar in form and function.” One of the more noticeable differences will be a minrepairs in 2016 and resorted to opening the bridge only once per hour instead of twice to reduce wear. Rather imal widening of the shoulder width from 4 ft. to 5 ft. To ensure the least impact on commuters after the than continue to sink funds into its maintenance, VTrans has found it more cost effective to replace the bridge’s demolition, a temporary drawbridge, known as entire structure. The new bridge should yield a lifespan see DRAWBRIDGE page 18

New England News Briefs Massachusetts

Federal officials are moving forward with replacement of the bridges that connect Cape Cod to mainland Massachusetts. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on April 3 approved the final report on the project to replace the Bourne and Sagamore bridges with two new spans, the Cape Cod Times reports. The agency said it must now design new bridges and determine how they'll be financed, according to the newspaper. The New England District of the Corps, which owns and operates the bridges, recommended in October that the spans be replaced with two new, wider bridges rather than embarking on a more costly rehabilitation of the current bridges. The cost for constructing two new bridges next to the existing ones is estimated at about $1 billion. The current spans over the Cape Cod Canal are more than 80 years old. The current recommendation calls for four travel lanes on each bridge, along with a separate bike and pedestrian lane, which the current bridges don't have.

Rhode Island

Rhode Island transportation officials have canceled plans to close a well-traveled highway exit as part of a major bridge project. The Gano Street off-ramp for Interstate 195 West in Providence will remain open during the Washington Bridge rehabilitation project, the state Department of Transportation said. The department closed the ramp in 2018 as it prepared to rebuild and add a lane to the Washington Bridge, a project the state hoped would relieve rush-hour traffic congestion. At the time, officials said that 400 drivers an hour were taking the ramp at peak times, backing up traffic. The exit was temporarily reopened after residents complained that the closure would send more traffic to the east side of Providence. After three traffic studies, the department has concluded that keeping the off-ramp open will not affect traffic. Pre-construction work on the bridge is slated to begin later this year. ********************

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) announced that within the next two weeks, it will be advertising a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Washington Bridge Rehabilitation design-build project. RIDOT is scheduling for the work on the Washington Bridge to start this year with the awarding of the design-build contract this summer. The bridge is classified as structurally deficient and is required to be rehabilitated to cure the deficiencies. RIDOT has secured a $25 million grant through the work of the Rhode Island Congressional delegation to support this $70 million design/build project. The grant obliges RIDOT to start work in a timely manner. RIDOT will remain in constant contact with the Rhode Island Department of Health regarding the most up-to-date public health guidance and proper protections for workers when construction begins on this project. RIDOT Director Peter Alviti said, “Washington Bridge has to be rehabilitated to keep it safe. While we are doing this work, we also need to make sure that we rebuild it in a way that will clear up much of the daily traffic congestion along Route 195 West for commuters traveling into Providence every morning.” In addition to rehabilitating the bridge, the project design includes an additional through lane to better accommodate mainline highway traffic and the high volume of traffic entering the highway from Veterans Memorial Parkway, Warren Avenue and Taunton Avenue ramps. A new exit ramp in East Providence will provide a direct connection to Waterfront Drive, a major area for future economic development on the East Providence waterfront,

and will provide an additional safe and convenient way for commuters to access the East Side of Providence. Scheduling for this project will be coordinated with improvements at the Henderson Bridge Project in order to minimize traffic disruptions for both highway and local traffic. Together the two projects will improve access to the East Providence waterfront and to the East Side of Providence. Work on the Henderson Bridge is expected to begin this summer and will take approximately four years. It represents another $88.5 million investment in the area, which includes $54.5 million of federal funds as part of a new spending law authored by Sen. Jack Reed.

Maine The Maine Department of Transportation will be doing paving work on the Sagadahoc Bridge and on a five-mile-long stretch of U.S. Route 1 in Brunswick, West Bath, and Bath. The road work will begin at the Cooks Corner interchange in Brunswick and extend east to the Bath Viaduct, including the ramps at New Meadows Road and Congress Avenue. The Sagadahoc Bridge crosses the Kennebec River on the Bath/Woolwich town line. This work will provide a smoother riding surface, drainage improvements, and safety upgrades. Work is scheduled to begin on April 5. Drivers should expect a single-lane traffic pattern between April 5 and May 22. Maine DOT will allow the contractor to work 24 hours a day, six days a week. The contractor for this paving work is Northeast Asphalt and the project will be completed by the end of August. ******************** The Maine Department of Transportation is repairing the Kelley Road Bridge in Orono. The bridge spans I-95. DOT will be replacing the bridge deck and bearings as well as repairing the bridge piers. Preliminary work recently began. The bridge will be closed from mid-May to late August with a final project completion date in October. The contractor for this project is CPM Constructors of Freeport.

New Hampshire The New Hampshire Department of Transportation announced that rehabilitation work on two bridges on I-89 at Exit 19, over US Route 4 and the Mascoma River, began on April 1. Construction crews will begin by shifting I-89 southbound traffic between mile marker 58.4 to 58.0 6 ft. to the right to allow for bridge work to begin on the left side of the bridge. There will not be any reduction in lane widths and traffic will remain in a two lane configuration during non-work hours. This project has a completion date of Oct. 14, 2022, and consists of construction of a new bridge between the existing I-89 bridges over US 4, replacement of the structural steel and deck on the existing bridges over US 4, rehabilitation of the I-89 bridges over the Mascoma River south of Exit 19, and work on the Exit 19 Northbound on and off ramps. ED Swett of Concord, N.H., is the contractor on this project. ******************** The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) announced that bridge replacement work began on the Bearcamp River Bridge on NH Route 16 in Ossipee, NH on March 23, 2020. The DOT anticipates this phase of the project to be completed by late spring, 2020. This work is part of a project that consists of the replacement of three bridges (Lovell River, Bearcamp River, and Bearcamp Relief) and 3.5 mi. of roadway reconstruction on NH Route 16. Reed and Reed General Contractors of Woolwich, Maine, is the contractor for the project, which has a final completion date of June 25, 2021.

Connecticut The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced the start of work for Project 0161-0141 in Wilton, involving improvements to Route 7 At Grumann Hill Road. The project includes safety and operational improvements to Route 7 At Grumann Hill Road including the complete demolition and replacement of the existing traffic signal systems at the intersections of Route 7 with 59 Danbury Road (Intersection 161-205) and Grumann Hill Road (Intersection 161-206). It also includes the widening of Route 7 mainly on the southbound side of existing Route 7, removal of existing and installation of new drainage structures, as well as milling and resurfacing of approximately 1600feet of Route 7. DOT Project no. 0161-0141 was awarded to Waters Construction Co. Inc. at a cost of $2,913,721.20 on Aug. 8, 2019 ,and is scheduled to be completed by April 13, 2021. ******************** The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced the start of construction activities for the rehabilitation of Bridge 00196 carrying I-95 over Route 1 in Branford. The project consists of the partial replacement of Bridge 00196 over US Route 1 utilizing Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) techniques. The project also includes the realignment of Route 1 as well as the relocation of utilities. ******************** The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced continuation of construction activity for project 83-264 in Milford for the replacement of Bridge 01446 which carries Wheelers Farms Road over SR796. Construction began last year and is recommencing for the 2020 construction season. Work includes the complete demolition and replacement of the existing bridge, raising the clearance of the bridge, increasing the span and widening of lanes. Additionally, an acceleration and deceleration lane will be added to SR 796. The project will be performed in three phases: Phase 1 is the demolition and construction of the East section of the Bridge. Phase 2 is the demolition and construction of the west section of the Bridge. Phase 3 is the addition of the acceleration and deceleration lanes on SR 796. DOT Project no. 0083-0264 was awarded to New England Road Incorporated at a cost of $6,848,318.00 on Feb. 04, 2019, and is scheduled to be completed by Nov. 20, 2020. ******************** The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced that a milling and resurfacing project will be performed on I-395 northbound and southbound in Thompson. The project consists of milling a 6.91 mi. segment of I-395 northbound and southbound in Thompson. This project started on April 6, 2020, and will continue through May 27, 2020. This project is included in the Department of Transportation’s 2020 Vendor Resurfacing Program. ******************** The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced the start-up of Project 156-180 in West Haven and Orange on Interstate 95 for the 2020 construction season. The project includes pavement preservation of Interstate 95 in West Haven and Orange. The highway will be milled and repaved in order to extend its service life. Seven project bridges will be resurfaced and have new asphalt expansion joints installed. Upgrades to four intersections at the exit ramps are included at First Avenue, Campbell Avenue, and two on Saw Mill Road. DOT Project No. 156-180 was awarded to Tilcon Connecticut Inc. at a cost of $7,295,388.45 on May 1, 2019, and is scheduled to be completed by July 6, 2020.

Three independent traffic studies were

conducted by Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc., Commonwealth Engineers and Consultants, and McMahon Associates. All concluded that at least for 10 years after the project’s completion, keeping the Gano Street off ramp open will not adversely affect traffic on I-195 West and therefore the RFP calls for the ramp to remain open as part of this project for the foreseeable future. The decision to keep the ramp open comes after RIDOT conducted three indepth traffic studies to examine the potential impacts of keeping the ramp open or closing it permanently. The studies analyzed traffic patterns on I-195 and local streets in East Providence and in Providence’s East Side in the vicinity of the Washington Bridge. The studies indicated that the existing Gano Street off-ramp can remain open while the Washington Bridge reconstruction still achieves a marked reduction in chronic traffic congestion on I-195 West.

spent the past week lifting beams at night up over the highway. Earlier, we brought in a 600-ton crane with a telescoping boom. We will bring that crane back in when we do some other lifts of steel.” The project is scheduled for completion Nov. 20, 2023. Here are the highlights of the project from RIDOT’s overview: • The Huntington Viaduct (Route 10 southbound) will be removed and the roadway lowered to approximately the grade of Route 10 northbound and below reconstructed bridges carrying Westminster Street and Broadway’ • A direct connection to provide the missing move from Route 10 northbound to Route 6 westbound by construction of a flyover ramp, improving regional traffic flow and reducing local traffic congestion in Olneyville; • Replace the Tobey Street on-ramp with a new two-way connection between Tobey Street and Harris Avenue that will enhance access across the highway at this location. A new Harris Avenue connection to either Route 6 westbound or Route 10 southbound (including a new one way westerly service road) will address traffic weaving issues at the existing see RECONSTRUCTION page 14

on-ramp; • Construct new bridge crossings over the highway for Westminster Street, Broadway and Harris Avenue/Tobey Street. The roadways will be wider boulevards that will include new, multi-use paths providing separate, safe routes for pedestrians and bicyclists. These new crossings combined with replacing the existing Huntington Viaduct with a depressed roadway will substantially reduce the existing highway barrier to connectivity between the neighborhoods of

Olneyville to the west and Federal Hill and West End to the east; • New bicycle/pedestrian paths extending through the project area from Union Street to Tobey Street that will enhance connectivity between area neighborhoods and provide a substantial portion of a connection between the Woonasquatucket River Bikeway and Washington Secondary Bike Path; • Better local traffic circulation and improved access; and • Gateway aesthetics: Additional measures will be taken for landscaping and visual improvements.  CEG
