The transformation of downtown Waterbury, Conn., is taking place with the rehabilitation of 10 bridges that connect Interstate 84 and Route 8.

The Mixmaster, which was opened in 1968, features stacked bridges that the Connecticut Department of Transportation called “an engineering feat that addressed the area’s challenging topography.” But it also said, “The stacked bridges make both rehabilitation and replacement a see MIXMASTER page 18

Array of Construction Projects Under Way Across Conn.

Wherever you go in Connecticut, a new building is going up, a road is being reconfigured and airports are being expanded.

Major projects are happening all around the state.

While the construction may be a burden to residents and travelers now, when it is complete, officials hope people can more quickly go where they need to be, find parking easier and enjoy the region a little more.

Here is a look at some of the major development projects impacting the state and when they should be completed, according to CT Insider: Bradley Airport Upgrades Bradley International Airport, north of Hartford, completed its $210 million ground transportation center in July and already has its sights set on other projects. At the same time, the airport received a $20 million federal grant that will go toward a larger $185 million redevelopment of Bradley’s facilities. That project is expected to take about two years, officials said last summer.

The money will be used to increase the capacity of the ticket counter area and improve baggage handling throughout the airport. The centerpiece of the effort will be moving the baggage security screening machines from the area next to the ticket counters to an 80,000-sq.-ft., multi-level addition on the rear of the terminal building, according to Kevin Dillon, executive director of the Connecticut Airport Authority.

CT Insider in Norwalk reported the grant will also allow the airport to meet certain requirements in the Americans with Disabilities Act and enhance other requirements that have already been met.

Charter Oak Bridge The Charter Oak Bridge project combines two initiatives that Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) officials have said will help reduce congestion and improve safety on Interstate 91 in Hartford County.

The project, costing about $240 million, is nearing its end. The work included moving an exit ramp on I-91 to provide an extra lane and ease safety concerns from merging traffic. The work started in 2019, and included resurfacing lanes in the area, updating signage and installing more drainage.

In addition, the main I-91 roadway was improved, with a stretch from exits 27 to 29 getting an extra lane to ease traffic congestion.

legal issues. The home of the Hartford Yard Goats minor league baseball team opened in 2017, but an ongoing lawsuit involving the original developer of the baseball stadium — who was later fired and replaced — threatens to keep the situation in limbo.

A new apartment building, The Pennant at North Crossing, opened this year directly across from the stadium, and developers hope to break ground on similar projects in the area soon, CT Insider noted. An unrelated project just blocks away to create a mixed-use building on undeveloped property is awaiting city approval, with its developers hopeful they can break ground in 2023.

Located between downtown and the city’s North End, officials hope the development of the North Crossing area can be part of a larger revitalization of the city.

Foxwoods Casino Expansion The largest resort casino in the Northeast is adding more space for its 30th anniversary. This month, Foxwoods Casino will open its 80,000-sq.-ft. Rainmaker Expo Center for trade shows and sporting events.

The resort also will begin construction on an $85 million project to add 50,000 sq. ft. of gaming space and a 13,000-sq.-ft. restaurant to the Ledyard, Conn., entertainment facility.

Officials announced in September that the new casino is set to open next summer in Foxwoods’ Grand Ballroom. It will include

a celebrity chef-owned restaurant and a gaming space with table games, slot machines and a high limit slot machine.

Foxwoods also plans to build an indoor water park and hotel in partnership with Great Wolf Lodge, the casino said last winter. The facility will open in 2024 adjacent to the casino.

Middletown Riverfront Development A massive, 10-year primary plan of riverfront redevelopment, now in its initial stages, recently received a $12 million infusion from the state, according to CT Insider. see CONNECTICUT page 14

Tufts University Plans On Building New Residence Hall Tufts University, a prestigious col(William Rawn Associates photo) lege a few miles north of downtown Tufts plans to construct Boston within the towns of Medford a residence hall for and Somerville, Mass., has begun juniors and seniors planning for construction of an underalong Boston Avenue. graduate residence hall for juniors and seniors on the campus.

The Boston Avenue building is expected to open in fall 2025, featuring apartment-style units and public access to its ground-floor retail space.

Tufts Now, the university’s online news service, reported Nov. 14 that the new facility will offer easy access to key undergraduate destinations, including the Tisch Sports and Fitness Center, the school’s Joyce Cummings Center and Academic Quad.

The residential hall also is to be built across the street from the new Medford/Tufts Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) station, part of the Green Line Extension project currently nearing completion.

The dormitory building will include an outdoor plaza and space for a firstfloor retail operation, such as a café or restaurant, open to students and the public alike.

“In addition to building a beautiful, efficient new residence hall, we are taking this opportunity to energize the Boston Avenue streetscape,” explained Rocco DiRico, executive director new stations within walking distance of the of government and community relations at new residence hall, he added, and the MBTA Tufts. “Our objective is to create an inviting will be making sidewalk, crosswalk and place on campus, not just for our students, other pedestrian-related improvements once but also for our neighbors who may be the Medford/Tufts station is finished. catching a train into Boston, and for our visitors who may be seeing Tufts for the first Dormitory Designed to Reduce Its Carbon Use time.”

tectural firm, is the design team behind the new building. The company has many other university residence halls in its portfolio, including buildings at Brown, Brandeis and Duke, as well as the Sophia Gordon Hall at Tufts.

The project’s construction manager is DPR Construction, a global company with offices in Boston.

Initiative Has Grown Student Housing at Tufts The new Boston Avenue residence hall grows out of a Tufts strategic plan to make significant capital improvements on its campus. In April 2021, the university completed a $250 million bond offering and earmarked a substantial portion of those monies for student housing.

The last time Tufts built a new on-campus dorm was in 2006. The opening of Sophia Gordon Hall, at 15 Talbot Ave., made 124 beds available for juniors and seniors.

Apartment-style housing also can be found in the school’s Latin Way and Hillsides dormitories, in addition to special-interest housing and rooms in the other residence halls at Tufts.

Over the past five years, the university has made considerable progress toward expanded on-campus housing, adding a total of 485

beds for undergraduates, DiRico told Tufts Now. Those juniors and seniors preferring apartment-style units have found an appealing choice for on-campus housing in a recent initiative known as CoHo (short for Community Housing). For that project, Tufts renovated 13 wood-frame houses, and built one new fully electric, highly sustainable home, to create living space for 139 students.

Tufts also plans to renovate two more houses that will expand CoHo capacity by next fall.

At 29 Sawyer Ave., in Somerville, the university is upgrading another residence hall that currently is home to students. When that work is complete, the building will house 26 third-and fourth-year students.

“Being able to have more juniors and seniors living on campus creates a more robust residential community,” said Camille Lizarríbar, the university’s dean of student affairs. “It increases opportunities for students at different stages of their Tufts experience to learn from and engage with each other, to forge close friendships, and to share memories that last a lifetime.”

Construction this past summer also created housing for 150 first-year students in the area known as the Court at Professors Row. In addition, 24 students moved into a renovated former fraternity house this fall at 114 Professors Row. 

MGH Begins of New Clinical Care Building Construction “This building will be [one of] the most important Mass General constructs in our history…”

David F. M. Brown

Massachusetts General Hospital

Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) broke ground in late October on a multi-year construction project for a modern clinical care facility along Cambridge Street in Boston, enabling the medical center to add to its growth of services and increase MGH’s capacity.

The new facility will be home to the Mass General Cancer Center and the Corrigan Minehan Heart Center, according to a report by the Beacon Hill Times. Two inpatient towers will house 482 single-bed inpatient rooms, offering a comfortable and holistic healing environment for patients and families.

Encompassing more than 1.5 million sq. ft., the new medical facility will function entirely within the MGH campus. Larger operating, interventional and procedural rooms, along with imaging facilities, infusion rooms, exam rooms and support space for pharmacy and dietary services also will operate within the new facility.

In addition, plans call for six levels of underground parking, accommodating 864 vehicles for patients and families, to replace the outdated Parkman Garage. The hospital is also adding parking spaces for 566 bicycles, and green roof terraces will be included.

“This building will be [one of] the most important Mass General constructs in our history — perhaps only second to our original Bulfinch building dating back to 1811,” David F. M. Brown, president of MGH, said in a hospital press release. “It will create the environment our staff needs, and our patients deserve, [and] will allow us to continue to excel across our four missions — caring for our patients with clinical excellence, improving the health of the communities we serve, training the next generation of healthcare leaders, and changing the healthcare of the future through discovery and innovation.”

Brown added that the hospital’s continued growth is due to its donors, who, he said, “have strengthened our infrastructure in the past and we count on them to continue to serve as the engine behind our evolution [and] ability to transform the health of our

patients now, and for the next 200 years.”

The clinical care facility’s construction is expected to last a total of seven years, according to MGH, and is slated to open in phases between 2027 and 2030.

New Building to Utilize 21st Century Techniques The Times reported that the sustainable clinical care structure at MGH will almost entirely be powered using renewable electricity, reflecting a commitment to significantly reducing the hospital’s carbon footprint. Built to withstand major flooding and high winds, the building will be the medical center’s most resilient, serving its most vulnerable patients by supplying its own energy and systems for up to 96 hours during natural or manmade disasters.

“This new building is, first and foremost, about our patients and providing them with the type of care experience they deserve,” explained Anne Klibanski, president and CEO of Mass General Brigham, a network of area hospitals that includes MGH. “There is a pressing need in healthcare for innovative facilities that are forward-looking, collaborative and patient centered, offering better treatment and hope to patients with the most challenging conditions. Once complete, we will be able to offer the world-class care that Mass General Brigham is known for to more patients in a supportive, personalized, and efficient setting that is second to none.”

The new MGH building also has triggered a major financial investment by the hospital for some of the most treasured community organization programs in the West End and Beacon Hill — including the West End Museum, the Museum of African American History, the Old West Church and the Esplanade Association, the Times reported.

“This new facility ushers in the next generation of health care, one which seamlessly integrates technological innovation, patientcentered wellness, environmental sustainability and clinical excellence under the same roof,” said Jonathan Kraft, chair of MGH’s board of trustees, in the MGH press release. 

Bradley International Airport Work Highlights Conn. Projects CONNECTICUT from page 4

struction was originally slated to conclude this year, but is now planned to finish in June 2023.

State transportation officials also decided to build a temporary bypass in the area while construction continues.

“Deck patching, deck end reconstruction, waterproofing membrane installation, paving, joint installation, steel repairs and strengthening, painting and substructure repairs, and the installation of sign support structures are all in progress on both sides of I-84 through the Mixmaster,” according to CTDOT.

Middletown officials, though, plan to continue pursuing other grants. The money will be instrumental in allowing the cleanup and demolition of a trio of properties along the Connecticut River that will help kick off the city’s Return to the Riverbend project.

The overall goal of the effort, created by Cooper Robertson of New York, is to reconnect Middletown with its riverfront — something lost when Connecticut Route 9 was built — by creating vibrant arts and culture, entertainment, retail, market-rate housing, public spaces, and, most notably, a pedestrian bridge over the roadway.

Walsh Construction Rehabilitates Conn.’s Aging Mixmaster MIXMASTER from page 1

Construction started on the Mixmaster project on June 1, 2018, with a completion date of Dec. 1, 2023.

“It’s an incentive-laced contract, so there’s a chance it will get done before that,” said David Ferraro, CTDOT construction project engineer. “The contractor will be penalized for late completion to reduce the impact to the public.”

Subcontractors on the project include AFC Construction, New Britain, Conn.; American Concrete Pumping, Portland, Conn.; Diamond Core Drilling, Elyria, Ohio; and Ducci Electrical Contractors, Farmington, Conn.

“With an extensive, multi-year overhaul of the Mixmaster, Waterbury’s overlapping highway structure, the city is now the beneficiary of a faster flow of vehicular traffic, while opening more development opportunities for new and existing businesses,” said Joe McGrath, Waterbury’s eco-

complicated endeavor.”

While the Mixmaster has undergone multiple major renovations since the late 1960s, it is now being rehabilitated due to deteriorating concrete decks, corroded bearings and joints, section loss in its girders and cracking in critical, non-redundant structures.

It is Walsh Construction’s task to fix the problem. The Waterbury firm is the lead contractor on the project that is rehabilitating the 10 bridges by restoring bridge parapets and curbing modifications, repairing deck spalls and overlays, improving bridge drainage and paving new asphalt. The company is repairing the concrete decks and resurfacing them with waterproof membrane, reinforcing the concrete piers and replacing the existing metal bridge rails with a concrete parapet and installing new overhead signage.

To alleviate traffic, a tempo- Construction started on the Mixmaster project on June 1, 2018, with a completion date of Dec. 1, 2023. rary bypass road consisting of three temporary bridge structures and 2,500 linear ft. of on-grade roadway was constructed.

“To date we have replaced the concrete decks in their entirety for Route 8 Northbound and Southbound [Bridges 03190A and 03190B],” said CTDOT. “With the completion of the decks on these two bridges, it was no longer necessary to restrict travel on those bridges so we were able to decommission and remove the temporary bridges.”

With the decommissioning of the temporary bridges complete, CTDOT said, “We are currently focused on deck repairs to I-84 Eastbound [Bridge 0319A]. Substructure concrete repairs, steel repairs and bridge drainage replacement are ongoing on all bridges. Construction of the new auxiliary lane on The transformation of downtown Waterbury, I-84 Westbound is currently under way and should CTDOT said the rehabilitation project, when completed, is expected to Conn., is taking place with the rehabilitation extend the life of the Mixmaster for up to 25 years. be completed this year.
