The Aquidneck Avenue project also will improve pedestrian safety with new sidewalks along the western side of the road and pedestrian crossing features at the entrance to J.H. Gaudet Middle School.

Aquidneck Avenue Resurfacing in Middletown State lawmakers and other state officials were on hand March 22 to break ground on a $9 million project to resurface approximately one mile of Aquidneck Avenue in Middletown from East Main Road to Green End Avenue.

Congressman David Cicilline and Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) Director Peter Alviti Jr. were among the state and local leaders in attendance at the ceremony to begin rebuilding the badly deteriorated road base and make numerous other safety improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists in this busy commercial corridor, according to RIDOT. The agency noted that construction on the project will be finished in the autumn of 2023.

Funding Boost to Help Restore Historic Portland Church Standing in the cavernous wooden interior of the Meeting House in Portland, Maine’s Munjoy Hill neighborhood, Pam Cummings pointed out part of the floor that has been replaced and some of the older boards that remain from the original 19th century construction, as well as bits of history etched into the floor.

“The marks here are where the pews were,” she said during a Maine Public Radio report on March 15.

The Abyssinian Meeting House in Portland is recognized as one of the most important sites of African American history in the state. Built 200 years ago, the meeting house served as a church, a school for African American children, and a hub of anti-slavery organizing.

Now, Cummings leads a local group, the Committee to Restore the Abyssinian Meeting House, which, for about 25 years, has been working to bring the historic building back to life.

In mid-March, she hosted a tour of the old church for Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, who secured $1.7 million in federal funding which will go toward interior construction, a new museum exhibit space, and an elevator to make the building ADA compliant, among other improvements.

Esta Pratt-Kielley/Maine Public photo

The interior of the Abyssinian Meeting House. The lighter colored boards are new construction, while the darker, more weathered boards date back to the original construction in 1828.

Cummings described the money as a “game changer” that will allow her group to finally complete the project. She told Maine Public Radio that restoring the church is a crucial step in elevating African American history in the state.

“We have a history too,” Cummings said.

“We do belong, and our people did great things.”

Not only is the church important to Maine’s history, she added, but to U.S. history as well.

The evidence for that is many of the Abyssinian Meeting House’s leaders and

congregants were deeply involved in helping escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad, a network of people, both African American and white, that offered shelter and aid to slaves desperately trying to leave the South before the Civil War. “They fought tirelessly against slavery,” Cumming said in referring to 19th century members of the Portland church. “The antislavery society of Maine was founded here.”

Pingree, whose district includes much of the coastal region of southeastern Maine, said the restoration group should receive the funding soon, after President Biden signs the new federal budget. Once the church building is restored and open to the public, she said it could play a role in broadening the lens through which the state’s history is seen.

“So often, the history of Maine is really told through the eyes of white people,” Pingree told Maine Public Radio. “We never talk about the Indigenous people, and we rarely talk about the history of Black people in Maine and how they contributed to …

American history.”

Cummings said her group wants to complete the restoration within the next year and re-open the Abyssinian Meeting House building to the public soon after. 

Salt Marsh, Flooding Among Challenges of Bridge Project

The Maine Department of Transportation is replacing a deteriorated bridge in Woolwich and adding another new bridge to the project to address flooding concerns on Route 1.

BRIDGE from page 1

Woolwich, was built in 1933 and is an aging structure with areas of significant deterioration, according to a Maine DOT. “The reconstruction of Route 1 will raise the roadway by approximately five feet to address flooding concerns and sea level rise. This project also involves the construction of an 85-foot-long bridge [the Pleasant Cove Bridge] to replace two culverts near George Wright Road; this work is being done to protect Route 1 and to eventually help restore tidal flow to the marsh.”

The Pleasant Cove Bridge is being constructed to address existing flooding concerns on Route 1 and protect it from projected sea level rise and eventually restore full tidal flow under Route 1 and the marsh located west of the area.

“We’re going to build 400 feet of road, a 750foot bridge, a 150-foot bridge and detour the traffic in July and August,” said Peter Garrett, Reed & Reed project superintendent.

Onsite work began in January. Currently, the contractor is building a temporary detour roadway to maintain one lane of traffic in each direction on Route 1 throughout construction.

“Right now, we are using cranes to set up drive piles for the temporary bridge,” said Jack Parker, chairman and CEO of Reed & Reed.

Garrett and Maine DOT Project Manager Devan Eaton said the temporary roadway would be as wide as the current one. And once the detour is open, traffic should keep moving smoothly,

though more slowly than usual, because speed limits will be reduced.

The project is complicated by the salt marsh and the water that flows in and out of it. This section of Route 1 occasionally floods on extra-high tides.

Climate change presents an even more significant threat of flooding than already exists, with sea levels expected to rise 4 ft. over the next 100 years.

That’s why the road is being raised at least 5 ft. and more in some places, according to Eaton.

Raising that road poses a challenge for Reed & Reed because of the salt marsh. Seawater from the Sasanoa River flows in and out of the marsh every day, and that flow will increase once the smaller of the new bridges replaces old, outdated culverts.

Parker said they have to make sure the road remains stable and doesn’t sink under traffic pressure. They will install more than 100 wick drains, perforated tubes driven as much as 135 ft. into the clay that underlies the marsh. The drains will be driven in along the roadway’s path, which will then be buried in 11 ft. of gravel or other fill material.

“We will install six feet of gravel so the new roadway won’t settle,” Parker said, adding that it will remain in place for a year.”

“And everybody will drive by and wonder what we're doing.” Garrett said. “But that weight of the extra material will squeeze the water out of the subsoil. It will come up through those wick drains and out into the marsh. And that will pre-settle the road so that when the new road is built, it will see BRIDGE page 14

The project is complicated by the salt marsh and the water that flows in and out of it.

The Station 46 bridge, which carries Route 1 over the Back River Creek Marsh and Rockland branch of the Maine Central Railroad in Woolwich, was built in 1933 and is an aging structure with areas of significant deterioration.

While the road settles, Reed & Reed’s crew will build the new bridges.

With the year-long wait to build the road and the complexity of the bridges, the project won’t be quick. Construction is scheduled to be completed by November 2024.

“Route 1 is one of the most important roadways in our state,” said Eaton.

“Maintaining safe and efficient passage through this area is extremely important to

the economy. Our work to replace this bridge was designed to minimize traffic impacts.

This project will also increase resiliency on a key piece of coastal infrastructure.”

“We are pleased to build this key project right in our backyard,” Parker said. “Reed & Reed widened and rehabilitated that same bridge in 1980, so we are happy to upgrade it once again. Some of our employees who worked on that 1980 project are still with us, and I’m sure they will be back on the project this time.”  CEG
