Construction On Champlain Parkway Project in Burlington, Vt., Set to Resume Construction is set to resume on the Champlain Parkway project in Burlington, Vt., which would connect Interstate 189 in South Burlington to the city’s downtown.

The road project has been in the works since the 1960s.

In 2022, crews worked on stormwater, utility and the subbase for the new section of roadway between Home Avenue and Lakeside Avenue, according to Chapin Spencer, the director of Burlington Department of Public Works (DPW).

This year, city officials have circled April 17 on their calendars as the date to begin work on the parkway to make the corridor more pedestrian-friendly and repave roads like Lakeside see PARKWAY page 10

Salem Unveils Second Phase of City Park Overhaul The next leg of the rehabilitation work at Salem Willows, a city park in Salem, Mass., was unveiled at a forum March 14. The effort will connect to and overlap with the construction of a new pier in the year following the overall project’s second phase.

City officials and contractors on the Willows’ share of the Signature Parks program showcased an early glimpse of the park’s Phase II, designed to target the extreme northeast portion of the park — an area covering the mostly paved area beyond the Salem Willows gate at the end of the park’s restaurant boardwalk.

In the meantime, Signature Parks continues to work on other public spaces nearby, including Camp Naumkeag and efforts to swap it with Pioneer Village in Forest River Park, another Signature Park property.

Construction is slated to begin this fall and carry into next spring, wrapping up in time for summer 2024, according to Jason Bobowski, a landscape architect and senior project manager at Hatch, an Australianbased consulting firm with an office salemma.gov rendering in Boston.

Vt. Awards $12.6M to Improve Mobile Home Water System To improve water systems in 36 manufactured housing communities in Vermont, the state is awarding $12.6 million as part of its Healthy Homes Initiative.

Gov. Phil Scott announced Feb. 8 that the money will go toward repairing and replacing water and sewer systems, as well as assessing what other infrastructure work is needed, at mobile home communities across the state, reported VTDigger, a nonprofit news service.

“Through this round of funding, an estimated 3,975 residents — including 1,100 seniors and 830 children — will be able to more reliably access safe drinking water, and will be served by improved wastewater, stormwater, and drainage systems, protecting both them and the environment,” Scott said.

The help is desperately needed, according to Dave Sawyer, who works in operations at Weston’s Mobile Home Cooperative in Berlin, Vt. It will receive $1.325

million for repair and replacement of its water systems, which have not been upgraded in years.

Weston’s was once privately run, but residents gained ownership of the park in 2017. It has battled problems with improperly installed water lines and wells every year, Sawyer told VTDigger.

“When this money came out, we knew we needed to get our system upgraded to supply [our] middle- to low-income housing,” he said.

ARPA Funds Vermont Program The Healthy Homes Initiative operates through the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), tapping a total of $24.75 million available through the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

Funding is being directed through three avenues to improve water systems at manufactured housing communities, according

to Megan Cousino, environmental program manager at the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation.

The $12.6 million will not only repair or replace water systems, she said, but will pay for studies of existing water systems, and what is needed to bring them up to modern standards. It also will help pay for permits so construction can begin, Cousino noted.

VTDigger reported that about a third of the projects will involve studies to learn what will improve the water and sewer systems, while the rest will focus on technical help, permitting and construction.

According to ANR, environmental concerns disproportionately affect manufactured housing communities.

In 2011, 40 percent of the people affected by Tropical Storm Irene’s rampage through Vermont were residents in manufactured housing communities, while only 8 percent of the state’s total popu-

lation lives in these communities, noted REJOICE, the Vermont Rural Environmental Justice Opportunities Informed by Community Expertise.

The Healthy Homes Initiative is based on the understanding that improving the water, sewer, and drainage systems will not only help the residents of these communities, but improve the nearby environment.

“If somebody is properly disposing of their wastewater, that means it’s going into the environment in a way that’s better for [the environment and] keeps humans away from where that waste might end up,” Cousino explained.

ANR Keeps Rents Lower for Mobile Home Residents Thirty-nine mobile home communities in Vermont applied for funding through the Healthy Homes Initiative last summer for about 90 projects involving repairs, upgrades or replacements

of water, sewer and drainage systems, added Cousino.

Leaders of the program are already thinking ahead to future improvements, noted VTDigger.

She hopes that any manufactured housing community that did not apply this year, or any who want to continue their improvements from this round of funding, will apply for the second round of funding from the $24.75 million.

ANR hopes to open those applications in late spring.

Sawyer said the money awarded to Weston’s Mobile Home Cooperative will not only improve the water systems in the community but will also ensure financial stability for many residents in the member-owned cooperative.

If Weston’s had to take on the repairs and replacements itself, those costs could significantly affect the price of living there, he said in speaking with VTDigger, adding that many folks may then not be able to continue living in the park. 

Project to Boost Safety By Reconfiguring Busy On-Ramp The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has begun a project to reconfigure the Conn. Route 17 onramp that leads to state Route 9 northbound in Middletown to increase safety for drivers and pedestrians, while also improving traffic mobility.

The road upgrade was announced April 11 by Gov. Ned Lamont and state Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto.

The work includes removing the onramp’s existing stop sign and creating a fulllength, free-flow acceleration lane that will allow vehicles to merge onto Route 9 without first being required to come to a complete stop. Additionally, the bridge carrying Route 17 over Route 9 will be replaced to accommodate the new acceleration lane, while Harbor Drive access to Route 9 will be removed.

The Main Street Extension intersection will be realigned and signalized, and a new sidewalk will be added to the west side of the Main Street Extension underneath Route 17.

Middlesex Corporation, from Littleton, Mass., was awarded the contract, valued at $50 million. It is supported by funding that Connecticut received from President

“For far too many years, this has been a notorious spot for congestion and accidents, and the current configuration is the source of many of these issues.”

Ned Lamont Connecticut Governor

Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The project is expected to be completed in 2026, according to the governor’s office.

Ramp’s Current Design Has Led to Hundreds of Crashes The new roadwork and improvements are part of a larger, comprehensive CTDOT program to improve driver and pedestrian safety in Middletown, including removing the traffic signals on Route 9 and Miller Street access to the freeway.

The on-ramp’s current configuration has resulted in 319 crashes and 27 injuries between 2019 and 2022.

“Improving the area around Route 9 in

Middletown has been high on my priority list,” Lamont said in a press release from his office. “For far too many years, this has been a notorious spot for congestion and accidents, and the current configuration is the source of many of these issues.

Reconfiguring the Route 17 on-ramp by removing the stop sign and creating an acceleration lane is just one component of improvements on Route 9 in Middletown that we will be making. President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is allowing us to invest in projects like this that will improve traffic flow and increase safety.”

Eucalitto also called the CTDOT effort

critical to improving the safety of drivers through the corridor in Middletown.

“Every construction project of ours is focused on improving the safety of drivers, making it easier to get to wherever you’re traveling,” he said. “The federal infrastructure law passed two years ago allows CTDOT to address the most important roadway and bridge improvements while accelerating our work to make improvements faster.”

From his office, Connecticut senior U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said the interchange “has long been a rampant source of senseless crashes,” while adding that he commended Lamont’s use of the federal funding “to reverse this dangerous trend and make the roads safer for all.”

According to U.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro, whose district includes Middletown, CTDOT has been working with city officials since 2016 to develop plans for the redesign of the Route 17 onramp to Route 9 northbound.

“This project will help reduce congestion, improve both vehicle and pedestrian safety, and increase access to the waterfront,” she explained. “Simply put, this investment will help Connecticut build a better, stronger economy — with more jobs.” 

Project to Be Region’s First Building With Engineered Timber Business boosters in Concord, N.H., are excited about the expansion of biotech firm United Therapeutics in their city, but the corporate hangar it will build at Concord Municipal Airport is exciting for another reason: Glulam. Lots and lots of glulam.

“The entire skeleton and truss system is glulam,” Evan Herron, project manager of Silver Maple Construction of New Haven, Vt., told the Monitor. “We’ve never done anything like it, and I don’t think many have.”

Glulam is a term for wood beams and panels made by gluing together smaller layers of wood, or laminations, into pieces that are big enough and strong enough to replace steel and even concrete in commercial buildings.

It is part of the industry trend toward using engineered lumber — which has several names including mass timber — that combines smaller pieces of wood in novel ways to build large construction projects.

Engineered lumber is still

SMP Architecture rendering

uncommon, but its use in growing, and around the world it has replaced structural steel and concrete in buildings as tall as 25 stories. At least one commercial building has been built in New Hampshire with engineered lumber, an office block in Portsmouth made with cross-laminated timber, or CLT. The 210-ft.-long by 170-ft.wide airplane hangar planned at Concord’s airport by United Therapeutics, a Maryland medical research company, will be the first structure of its kind in the area, according to the Monitor. In addition, the hangar will be about 56 ft. from the floor to the peak of the structure’s curved barrel truss.

Engineered Lumber’s Biggest Benefit Is Environmental The advantages of engineered lumber are partly aesthetic in that it can be shaped in interesting ways and made to be eye-pleasing since it is wood.

But the big benefit it provides is environmental.

Using wood in commercial buildings can lock away tons of carbon contained in the trees and, more importantly, avoids the carbon pollution that would have been generated by making steel or concrete, both of which produce large amounts of greenhouse gases.

Increasing the use of engineered

lumber in commercial and industrial construction is one of the many changes needed to limit future damage from the Earth’s climate emergency, Evans said, adding that is a big reason United Therapeutics is using glulam in Concord.

“They don’t care just about building nice buildings, but environmentally sustainable buildings,” he noted.

The Concord Monitor reported March 27 that Art Massif, the Quebec firm making the glulam beams, estimates it will trap 522 tons of CO2, which it claims is equivalent to removing 104 cars from the road for a year.

Engineered lumber has another advantage for heavily forested New Hampshire. It provides a new market for loggers for those trees that cannot be turned directly into boards.

Costs Are High in Near Term The big drawback of engineered lumber for the near future

is cost, the newspaper noted.

Evans estimated that the glulam structures were about 50 percent more expensive than traditional steel supports. This cost should come down as more manufacturing facilities are built, and as architects and developers become more familiar with using it.

Using engineered lumber may also require changes in how nearby fire departments respond. The product tends to char rather than openly burn like traditional lumber used in home construction but does carry more fire risk than steel supports.

Another novel aspect of the construction, Herron said, is the use of prefabricated wall panels made at Silver Maple’s Middlebury, Vt., factory.

“It’s also a case study in prefabrication,” he said. “It will greatly speed up construction in the field.”

United Therapeutics, through Silver Maple Construction, hopes to break ground on the airport hangar by the end of April. 

Burlington, Vt., Project Has Been in Works Since 1960s PARKWAY from page 1

Avenue. Supporters say the project will alleviate traffic and congestion on neighborhood streets.

“I’m confident that overall, Burlington is moving in the right direction,” Spencer told MyChamplainValley.com, the online news service for WFFF-TV. He said DPW officials have worked hard to plan the parkway project so that it is easier and safer for everyone.

“What started out as a limited access four-lane, high-speed highway through Burlington is now a 25-mph multi-model street,” he explained.

Better Access Into Burlington Studied Since 1960s Totaling 2.8 mi. long, the Champlain Parkway Project’s aim in connecting I-189 to Burlington’s south end via a new two-lane multi-modal road also will transform the existing Pine Street into a more efficient and user-friend route, thereby alleviating neighborhood traffic and congestion.

According to the DPW’s Champlain Parkway project page online, in the 1960s, Burlington city planners identified a need to provide access between I-189, U.S. Highway 7/Shelburne Street and the City Center District in response to a study conducted by the Vermont State Department of Highways, which recommended the construction of a Burlington Belt Line.

From there, DPW developed a new highway concept, known as the Southern Connector, to address the need in the 1970s. A portion of the Southern Connector, between I-189 and Home Avenue, was built in the 1980s before the project

Once construction gets back under way, the project will be completed in two phases under a pair of separate construction contracts. was stalled when a segment referred to as the “Pine Street Barge Canal” was declared a superfund site.

Over the past three decades, Burlington’s DPW, in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), has transformed the original four-lane freeway concept for the Southern Connector into the current two-lane, low-speed, multi-modal roadway design — now known as the Champlain Parkway.

Multi-Faceted Road-Building Effort Included in the Champlain Parkway Project construction is a new roadway from the existing I-189 near its intersection with U.S. Route 7 to Lakeside Avenue, and upgrades to Lakeside Avenue and the section of Pine Street between Lakeside and Main Street.

Other improvements throughout the project area include: • New roadway signage and pavement markings.

• New bicycle and pedestrian accommodations and con-

nections.

• New and upgraded traffic signal equipment.

• Emergency vehicle preemption and transit signal priority.

• Expansion of the stormwater management system.

• Bus bulb-outs and shelters.

• Roadway drainage.

According to Burlington DPW, the parkway project will upgrade traffic circulation, increase roadway capacity to alleviate the overburdened corridor, and improve safety for all users in the southwestern section of town. The work will expand South End connectivity for all users and reduce truck and commuter traffic through the five Avenue neighborhoods.

Once construction gets back under way, the Champlain Parkway will be completed in two phases under a pair of separate construction contracts, which will be executed sequentially.

The initial contract is under way and anticipated to be completed in 2024.

It will include construction of the new parkway road from Home Avenue to Lakeside Avenue — the latter of which will see upgrades — and the section of Pine Street between Lakeside Avenue and Kilburn Street. The first construction season focused on the area between Home and Lakeside avenues.

The final contract will likely begin in 2025 with a 2027 completion. It will see the construction of the Champlain Parkway from I-189 to Home Avenue and upgrades to Pine Street between Kilburn and Main streets. 

Portland OKs Construction of Hotel Next to City Hall The city planning board in Portland, Maine, approved plans for a 179-room hotel Feb. 14 as part of a major redevelopment of the block on Congress Street just east of City Hall.

The Portland Press Herald reported that board members voted unanimously to approve a site plan for the hotel, which makes up Phase I of the Herald Square project at 385 Congress St. The initial phase of the project also includes nine condominiums on the upper floors of the building and 75 parking garage spaces.

“I think this is a really good project and I look forward to it being built,” Portland Planning Board Chair Maggie Stanley told the news outlet.

The proposal came with conditions, including the stipulation that Fathom Companies, a local real estate firm building the hotel, also submit a handful of updates and finish a public access easement for a pedestrian plaza prior to getting a building permit.

Jim Brady, president of Fathom, which also operates the Press Hotel across Congress Street, said it is too soon to say when construction might start.

“I don’t have a timeline yet,” he replied when questioned by the Press Herald prior to the Feb. 14 meeting. “We’re just finalizing

“I think this is a really good project and I look forward to it being built.”

Maggie Stanley Portland Planning Board

the site plan approval and will see how things progress to the next steps. It will not be any time within the next six months.”

During the public comment period of the Portland Planning Board meeting, only one person spoke about the project.

“This block needs more street level retail, more green space and more activity,” said Myrtle Street resident Avery Yale Kamila.

“The project proposes to add all three. My family and I support this project. I welcome more people in the neighborhood and welcome the project.”

The as-yet unnamed hotel, which will be

located at the corner of Congress and Myrtle streets, is planned to be 12 stories, and occupy a space that previously housed the Press Herald’s printing operations but is now used for private parking.

The city’s inclusionary zoning requirements mandate that hotel projects either build a certain number of low-income housing units based on the number of rooms they will have or pay a fee-in-lieu-of to Portland’s affordable housing trust fund.

Brady told the Portland news source that Fathom plans to pay the fee-in-lieu-of, adding that it would work out to about $700,000 in fees for the hotel’s 179 rooms.

Hotel Just One Part of Larger Redevelopment The downtown hotel is meant to be one component of a multi-phase redevelopment of the block between Cumberland Avenue and Congress Street, and Myrtle and Pearl streets.

According to a development plan approved last August, the total project will include three attached buildings, including the hotel, 297 condominiums, seven retail units totaling about 11,500 sq. ft., a 5,100sq.-ft. restaurant, recreation space, and more than 330 parking spaces.

It has previously been estimated to cost

$200 million to $300 million total, the Press Herald noted.

Reger Dasco Properties in Portland is the developer behind other phases of the project that will include two condo buildings that have yet to be approved by the planning board. Brady said it has not been determined whether the hotel or the condos will be built first.

Traffic Movement Study Needed Before Construction In a related matter, the Portland Planning Board also unanimously approved a traffic movement permit for the overall hotel development effort, which is required by the state for any project that generates 100 or more passenger car equivalents at peak hours, the Press Herald reported.

A traffic study conducted by South Portland’s Sebago Technics estimated that together, the hotel, condos and commercial space would generate 119 trips per hour during peak morning hours and 124 trips per hour during peak evening hours.

The permit was approved with several conditions, including upgrades to traffic signals, sidewalks and intersections and that a traffic monitoring program be implemented after the hotel opens to study valet operations and parking. 

Gov. Tours Infrastructure Port Upgrades Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee took a tour April 6 of ongoing construction work to upgrade the infrastructure at the Port of Davisville’s Pier 1, located on the west side of Narragansett Bay near its mouth.

He was joined by James Diossa, the state’s general treasurer, and Quonset Development Corporation (QDC) Managing Director Steven King to inspect the work.

McKee and the General Assembly allocated $60 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to the port in 2022 to assist in the development of Rhode Island’s only public port, continuing Davisville’s evolution as a key hub for the offshore wind industry in the North Atlantic.

As part of the initiative, the World War II-era Pier 1 is being revitalized as part of Quonset’s $234.5 million Port of Davisville Master Plan. The overall efforts include replacing thousands of wooden pilings which have been in Narragansett Bay supporting Pier 1 for more than 80 years with new concrete and steel pilings.

“The Port of Davisville is a jewel

in the state of Rhode Island’s economy,” McKee said following the tour.

“I was encouraged to see our ARPA funds at work today, modernizing Pier 1 at the Port of Davisville. I am confident that our continued investment at Davisville will keep Rhode Island moving forward by upgrading the resources we already have in place.”

Continuing infrastructure improvements as part of the Port Master Plan will position Davisville to stay within the top 10 auto importers in North America, he noted, while expanding capabilities for offshore wind.

The governor also was briefed on other components of the port’s proposals, including construction of a new multi-purpose pier at Terminal 5 and a new docking space to support crew transfer vessels and support offshore vessels for offshore wind construction projects and landside improvements.

“Today’s visit to Quonset’s Port of Davisville exhibited the innovation happening all across Rhode Island — especially as it relates to the offshore

wind industry,” Diossa said. “When we invest in infrastructure our state remains competitive, supply chains are strengthened, and communities are equitably uplifted.”

In his comments, King added, “Our continued infrastructure upgrades at the Port of Davisville will make Rhode Island a leader in the offshore wind industry. We appreciate the consistent support of our partners in state and federal government for their continued advocacy and support of [the state’s] economy here at Quonset.”

The Port of Davisville supports nearly 1,700 jobs and generates $98.9 million in household earnings for Rhode Island families, in addition to $374.3 million in business output annually. The port also brings in $45.5 million in total state tax revenue as well as $10.5 million in local taxes.

Built in 1941, Pier 1 at the Port of Davisville has increased its annual imports by 745 percent over the last 20 years.

The new project to upgrade its infrastructure aims to extend the pier’s life by another 50 years. 

Crews Relocate Every Existing Utility Within Project Footprint STAMFORD from page 16

Utilities have been an issue.

“We had to relocate every existing utility within the footprint of the garage, including water, sewer, fiber optics,” said Caulfield.

“We also had to relocate the storm drain system including a five-foot diameter main truckline that was 25 feet below street elevation.”

Day shifts are the norm, with some work being done on Saturdays.

The garage itself, which has been put together over 16 weeks, required approximately 800 pieces of precast concrete. They were delivered by truck and lifted and placed using a 330-ton capacity crane.

“They were connected by welding metal plates together and holes for anchor bolts,” said Caulfield. “But precast can’t solve all the issues. The garage had to be smooth to drive on and also for rainwater to be controlled into the drainage system.”

Structural steel was installed for the elevator shaft and it has been painted with fireresistant paint.

“We are in the process of installing glass and the roof at the elevator tower,” said Caulfield. “The challenge of the shaft was building within a short distance of the railroad’s electrical power infrastructure. We’re working with the railroad and informing it of our schedule. On many occasions, they would shut the power in those areas so we could work. We have very good relations with the Metro North Railroad.”

Equipment used for the installation of the garage includes excavators, front-end loaders, excavators and dozers, mostly Cat models.

The installation of the support steel installation for the architectural facade is ongoing, but the location presents challenges, including the road leading to the garage.

“It is very difficult to install the architectural treatment around the building,” said Caulfield. “It’s hard to get cranes and other pieces of equipment in close proximity to the work. So instead, we chose mini-cranes that go on the roof of the garage. We also use the garage roof as an area to store material.”

The new office space is located on the ground floor of the garage. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC and other services are being installed now.

“This work should be completed in the next few months,” said Caulfield.

The installation of the pedestrian bridge should be finished by late June. The pier construction was completed in January.

“There are three cast-in-place piers,” said Caulfield. “We placed the concrete with the

anchor bolts placed at the correct elevations.

The bridge is about 320 feet long and it’s going to come in six large pieces. Blue Atlantic from Massachusetts is currently fabricating and delivering the bridge. A crane will set each piece and then it will be connected together as we erect it.”

It should take a week to build the bridge, with the pieces shipped and lifted immediately.

The Yonkers management team is working with many partners.

“Our design firm has a lot of people working on the project,” said Caulfield. “We have a lot of people from the engineering firm on site. Our staff has worked on many projects.

The efforts of the crews are good. The guys in the field are union employees and we work with the unions for the laborers, carpenters, iron workers and operating engineers. We have our engineers working with the crews and our staff procures the materials and has them delivered. It requires a lot of coordination to build a facility like this.”

Peak days have approximately 50 people on site, with major subcontractors being McPhee Electric for all the electrical work, MJ Daly for the plumbing and HVAC work and Blakeslee for precasting and erecting the garage structure.

Work activities should generate 25,000 tons of earth and rock. For the most part, materials cannot be recycled on site.

“Some of the earth that is excavated goes to a temporary stockpile off site where it is tested,” said Caulfield. “Whether it is contaminated, hazardous or non-hazardous, it goes to licensed facilities that handle it.”

In terms of new materials, 20,000 cu. yds. of concrete, 1,000 tons of steel, 3,000 tons of asphalt and 5,000 tons of subbase will be used.

Additional equipment being used includes dirt and asphalt rollers, asphalt paving machines, mostly manufactured by Cat. “We have our own mechanic that is on site every day,” said Caulfield. “If we are using excavators or cranes and something goes wrong, the mechanic is there to fix it. The crews don’t have a lot of down time. Every piece of equipment is checked daily. For the most part we use our own equipment.”

Yonkers purchases and rents equipment from dealerships such as H.O. Penn in New York.

“They are always ready to rent or sell us any piece of equipment that we need,” said Caulfield. “A lot of times on a construction site, early on, you don’t know when the need arises for a specific piece of equipment that will be right for the job.”  CEG (All photos courtesy of CTDOT.)
