Maine’s Ticonic Bridge Replacement Project to Finally Begin Maine DOT photo

The existing Ticonic Bridge in 2020, viewed from downstream.

A $52.8 million project to replace the 113year-old Ticonic Bridge in Maine that spans the Kennebec River between Waterville and Winslow is scheduled to start. The work on the deteriorating bridge is scheduled to last four years, according to the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT).

Pittsfield-Maine-based Cianbro is the project’s prime contractor.

Beginning in late August or early September, westbound traffic from Winslow will detour to the Carter Memorial Bridge, just south of the Ticonic Bridge, while eastbound traffic is slated to stay on the Ticonic, MaineDOT noted in a schedule release.

Early in September, pedestrian traffic would then be re-routed to the Two Cent Bridge at Head of Falls.

A MaineDOT announcement noted that in November 2024, both east and westbound traffic are expected to be detoured over Carter Memorial Bridge, as the Ticonic Bridge will be fully closed by that time. In April 2025, eastbound traffic and pedestrians should be returned to the Ticonic while westbound traffic would remain detoured over the Carter bridge.

If all goes to plan, both east and westbound traffic will return to the new Ticonic Bridge structure in September 2026.

All construction is expected to be completed in May 2027, MaineDOT said.

New Bridge to Complement WatervilleÊs Recent Upgrades Waterville Mayor Jay Coelho told the Morning Sentinel on March 14 that a new

bridge is needed, and the replacement will complement all the work that has been done as part of the city’s downtown revitalization efforts. New lights will be installed on the Ticonic to match those already in town and in Winslow, he added.

“It’s going to be a pain, but it’s sort of finishing off what’s happening downtown — it’s just an extension,” Coelho said of the project.

Winslow Town Manager Erica LaCroix called the Ticonic Bridge effort “well planned.”

“Our biggest concern beyond the unavoidable disruption of traffic has been the ability of our emergency vehicles to get across the river expeditiously, when necessary,” she said in a statement. “This is especially important for ambulances carrying patients to MaineGeneral Thayer.

“MaineDOT has been very accommodating [in] working out traffic preemption systems that should cause minimal delays for traffic coming from Winslow into Waterville,” LaCroix continued.

She noted the bridge has deteriorated to a dangerous condition, adding that the work over the next few years “will be a significant inconvenience to our travelling public, but it’s completely necessary.”

Winslow City Engineer Andy McPherson and Paul Ureneck, Colby College’s director for commercial real estate and the supervisor of construction downtown, met earlier in the month with Cianbro’s project manager to discuss details, including where the contractor’s office trailer will be positioned,

McPherson said.

“Cianbro is one of the biggest bridge builders in Maine and probably one of the largest in the country,” explained McPherson. “I’m sure they’ll keep it on schedule and keep the project running as smoothly as possible.”

Steep Banks, Varied Water Levels Could Present Challenges Portions of the Ticonic Bridge are more than 100 years old, according to information provided by Paul Merrill, a MaineDOT spokesperson.

The structure will be replaced with a twospan steel girder with a concrete bridge deck.

In addition, a single concrete pier will be built in the Kennebec River to support the span, which will, like the existing bridge, carry five lanes of traffic. It will have sidewalks on both sides of the roadway as well as widened shoulders for bicyclists.

About $25 million of the funding is from a federal BUILD grant issued to MaineDOT, which matched part of the federal money.

The project will be challenging, according to state transportation officials. According to MaineDOT’s website, the riverbanks at the work site are steep, and water levels vary widely throughout the year, creating a complex set of factors.

“Although the Kennebec River is not a commercial waterway, it is a critical habitat for Atlantic salmon and shortnose sturgeon populations during spawning season,” reads the state agency’s Ticonic Bridge project page. “Therefore, contractor work will be

restricted so that no work will be done in the waterway during the late spring and summer months. Finally, because there are numerous electricity, cable, telephone, and water utilities located along the bridge, special measures will be taken to relocate these facilities in a manner that maintains operability at all times during construction.”

Ticonic Bridge Site Has Seen Many Upgrades The current span is a three-part structure, including a former trolley line built in 1909, a roadway constructed in 1936, and another roadway built in 1970, according to MaineDOT. It began as a steel truss bridge in the 1800s before a concrete arch trolley bridge was built in the early 1900s with a 50ft. track.

The Waterville news source noted that in the trolley system’s heyday, it carried more than 2 million passengers a year.

The Ticonic Bridge was significantly damaged during the Great Flood of March 1936 after a large piece of ice crashed into one of its stone piers, causing two of the truss spans to collapse into the river, according to MaineDOT. When repairs were done, one concrete arch was left as it was, the failed truss removed, piers were reconstructed, and a new riveted steel girder structure was built to replace the heavily damaged truss, creating the first sizable roadway for vehicular traffic in a four-span configuration. The bridge was widened again in 1970, creating a five-span configuration. 

Mass. Plans to Begin Replacing 140-Year-Old Boston Bridge The replacement of a 140-year-old bridge in Boston, Mass., will begin later this year after severe deterioration of the structure led to its abrupt closure last May during a routine inspection by Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) engineers.

The River Street Bridge in Boston’s Hyde Park carried motor vehicles over the train tracks of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA) Providence/Stoughton, and Franklin commuter rail lines, in addition to Amtrak trains traversing the Northeast Corridor.

“MassDOT is closing this bridge out of an abundance of caution after bridge inspectors identified beam deterioration during a routine and fracture critical inspection,” the state highway agency noted last year shortly after the discovery. “This closure is necessary to keep traffic off this bridge while material is ordered, and time is allotted for emergency repairs.”

Although closed to vehicles, the bridge has remained open to bicyclists and pedestrians.

Built in 1883, the bridge has been repaired many times in the last 100 years, the state agency reported on its website. Since 2016, MassDOT has made repairs to the structure

when needed, spending around $2.5 million to keep it safe for traffic.

Work Progressing On Bridge’s Design In August 2022, MassDOT completed the designs for the repairs but based on the extensive repairs needed it was going to take about one year to complete everything. At the same time, the agency was advancing the design to replace the structure. The schedule showed that construction could begin as

early as this fall, which led MassDOT to decide that that timeline would allow it to keep the bridge closed and not complete the repairs.

MassDOT recognized the bridge closure has significant impacts on the Hyde Park community. In light of the delays, the department felt it could not ask Hyde Park residents to live with a longer closure than what was announced last fall.

The River Street Bridge is being designed to include: • One lane of traffic in each direction with sidewalks.

• Carry MBTA bus routes.

• Have a protective barrier for Amtrak electrified wires (first installed in the 1990s) • Four major utilities will run across it.

MassDOT also said if it left the closure in place, that would allow the agency to: • Avoid a substantial investment in a structure which must be replaced in any case.

• Accelerate the design of the replacement bridge.

• Begin work on the new bridge in fall 2023.

• Open the new bridge in spring 2025.

• Maintain a near seamless connection for cyclists and pedestrians.

While the bridge closure is in place, early action steps have been under way to speed up construction of the replacement bridge, such as: • Remove Amtrak’s electric wires from the existing structure.

• Relocate utilities to a utility/temporary pedestrian bridge.

• Potentially remove portions of the deck of the existing bridge if it can be done safely. 

Town Begins Work to Make Section Pedestrian Friendly The town of Ridgefield, Conn., has received the green light from the state Department of Transportation (CTDOT) to go ahead with a years-long project to improve the walkability of its Branchville neighborhood.

CT Insider reported Feb. 26 that the $2.3 million streetscape project is set to begin in a few months.

The area is nestled in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in the state’s far southwest.

The work involves creating a sidewalk starting at the Wilton-Ridgefield line, and heads north on U.S. Highway 7. It will continue north to Tusk & Cup Fine Coffee, to the intersection with Conn. Highway 102.

There will be a walking bridge over a brook, and the sidewalk will continue north across the street.

“The width of [Conn.] 102, where it meets [U.S.] 7 will be narrowed so you won’t have to run out of breath trying to get across there,” Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi told CT Insider. “There will be walking signs, crosswalks, and the sidewalk will continue up to the Norwalk River.

Another sidewalk will continue all the way up Florida Road as well, with a crosswalk over to the Ancona Plaza.”

The project also includes installing decorative lighting and the realignment of the Conn. 102 and U.S. 7 interchange with new traffic signalization and crosswalks at the intersection.

“This is about the future of Branchville and getting the infrastructure in place to actually begin a transit-oriented development that will have multi-family housing, a train station, and bus service on U.S. 7,” Marconi explained. “It’s an improvement, an investment in Branchville.”

A grant for the project was obtained through the Transit Alternative Program, where the town had to match 20 percent — about $400,000 — already approved by Ridgefield voters.

J. Iapaluccio Inc., based in Brookfield, Conn., is expected to build the streetscape.

The company is an experienced, full-service civil and site contractor.

Marconi told CT Insider that once the contract is signed with the bidder, he will have more information about the overall Branchville revitalization project’s start date.

He added the project is necessary to develop Branchville for the future.

“It’s looking at how do we keep cars off the roads, reduce the carbon footprint, provide transportation, the electrification of the Branchville line,” Marconi explained. “All of it is how we provide housing and a living

environment that is clean and enjoyable.

That’s the long-term vision for Branchville.”

VillageÊs Legacy Demands Upgrade The village of Branchville is rich in historic resources. Of the approximately 50 buildings that lie within the project’s focus area, 80 percent are greater than 50 years old, according to a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) study done a few years ago by the Town of Ridgefield.

The earliest buildings within the focus area lie along West Branchville Road and Portland Avenue on the hill east of the train tracks. These buildings date from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and display, to name just a few, Federal, Greek Revival, Colonial Revival and Italianate architectural forms.

Marconi said with the revitalization project, he is trying to create a more “pedestrianfriendly community” in that historic area of town.

“Branchville has been the forgotten child for many, many years,” he noted. “This finally is going to begin after years of applications and studies. We’re finally putting a shovel in the ground to make some improvements.”

Bridge Replacement, Wider Track Crossing Ahead The second part of the Branchville project involves the design of a new bridge at Depot Road. Marconi explained that the design phase is 90 percent complete for the structure at the intersection of U.S. 7 and Conn.

102.

After that bridge is replaced, a new one will be constructed on Portland Avenue, he added. Nearby will be a new intersection with a left turn lane and a thru lane, in addition to a widening of the railroad-track crossing at Portland Avenue.

Marconi said that part of the project should begin later this year and continue over the next three to four years.

“It’s all to improve the train station, traffic movement, (and) pedestrian movement,” he explained.

According to Marconi, U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, through the Western Connecticut Council of Governments, recently told the state that a grant of $200,000 is being earmarked to study the feasibility of connecting Branchville to the Georgetown-Redding sewer plant.

Like the funds already allocated to the wider project, this grant, too, is for the purpose of revitalizing the Branchville neighborhood of Ridgefield. 

Alta Equipment Names Bobby Johnsen to Concord Sales Team Alta Equipment has appointed Bobby Johnsen to its sales staff at its facility in Concord, N.H. Johnsen’s area of responsibility will be southern New Hampshire.

Over the past decade, Johnsen has worked as general manager of a landscape company in the Manchester area where he had experience in all aspects of the landscape business, including selling projects, maintaining quality control, employee management and ensuring the company had the right equipment for each project.

Prior to this, he had started and operated his own hardscape construction company.

As a result of these experiences, Johnsen is very familiar with the operation of most compact equipment, having operated most categories of machines from skid steers, track loaders, excavators and wheel loaders.

He also has some background in screening aggregate materials.

“There are particular aspects of the Alta Equipment lineup that I feel specifically qualified to address,” Johnsen said. “With my previous employer, we had five JCB compact loaders in our fleet as well as a JCB 220 excavator. I was also involved in several projects where we rented Vibroscreen trommel screens and box screeners from Alta

Equipment. The equipment side of the construction industry has always been my passion. Getting this opportunity with Alta Equipment to focus solely on equipment and helping customers match the right equipment to their projects is exciting.”

Johnsen is an Air Force veteran.

At its Concord facility, Alta Equipment represents JCB, Toro, Vibroscreen, Avant, Arctic Snow & Ice, Fair Mfg., Bergmann, Terramac, Wille, AMI and Steelwrist.  CEG

Ahearn Also Will Add AUSA Equipment to Its Rental Fleet AHEARN from page 1

The company manufactures three 4 x 4 telehandlers that utilize a telescopic boom that provides better handling despite the machine’s smaller dimensions in terms of width. It is positioned on the right side of the machine to provide the operator with improved visibility and increased safety while loading and unloading materials, the company said.

According to Josh Ahearn, CEO of Ahearn Equipment, “With our present lineup of products, we have a good lineup of dirt moving equipment and we have been looking for niche brands that would round out our offerings. Side dumpers have been around for quite some time, but they seem to be growing in popularity.

“With rising fuel costs, tighter job sites, and more population density, we see the demand for side dumpers to continue to grow,” he added. “We have a lot of confidence in the AUSA product. Their engineers seem to be ahead of the curve, like the features on the side dumpers to swivel 270

degrees.”

The AUSA telehandler is extremely compact and is designed to be used in small, tight yards. Typically, a telehandler has a fairly large footprint. The combination of a telescoping boom makes it extremely maneuverable and desirable for that tight material yard application, the company said.

“We also see rough-terrain forklifts growing in popularity with the U.S. contractor,” Ahearn said. “Once the major site work has been completed on a building site, these machines are quite useful for shuffling materials around the site. We expect them to be in high demand from our rental fleet. All of them are equipped with four-wheel drive.

Here in our part of the country it is very common to operate in wet muddy conditions. I have seen the AUSA rough-terrain forklift operate in 1-1/2 feet of mud. That’s very impressive.”

In addition to offering all of the AUSA products for sale, they also will be available in Ahearn Equipment’s extensive rental fleet.  CEG
