The Skanska-McCourt Joint Venture (Skanska US and McCourt Construction Co.) started its work on the Massachusetts Department of
Transportation’s (MassDOT) nearly $204 million (total cost) rehabilitation of the Chelsea Viaduct Bridge in Boston, a project that began in April 2019. The construction cost, via the contract awarded to the JV, is $169 million.
The bridge, constructed between 1956 and 1957, carries Route 1 over the “Chelsea Curves” from County Road Overpass to the Tobin Bridge, spanning Fifth Street, Arlington Street, MBTA Commuter Rail, Spruce Street, see VIADUCT page 4
Mjolnir Construction Demolish Obstacles Sometimes the best way to get things done is to do them yourself. Mjolnir Construction, a Glastonbury, Conn., company that handles commercial and residential demolition, utility, water and sewer work, was finding more and more of its jobs required it to recycle construction materials. This presented see MJOLNIR page 16
Mjolnir Construction purchased a Rockster R1100 closed circuit portable impact crusher and has set up two recycling sites to receive materials, one in Portland, Conn., and the other in Tolland, Conn.
