The completion of the Stamford Atlantic Street bridge is the culmination of a multi-year project that began with the widening of Atlantic Street that was followed by the reconstruction of the Atlantic Street bridge, which requires only Metro North Railroad (MNR) track work for completion. The project was completed in two segments with Yonkers Contracting/Yonkers, N.Y., as the lead contractor on the first segment and Halmer International/Nanuet, N.Y., the lead contractor on the second segment. Crews tunnel under the five live tracks to construct abutment #1. State-funded costs of $36.5 million for Phase 1 and $74.8 million for Phase 2 make the Atlantic Street underpass was originally constructed in 1896. “The purpose of this project is to improve the horizontal total for the project more than $110 million. When the project was announced in 2013, the Connecticut and vertical geometry for Atlantic Street at the bridge, to State Department of Transportation (CTDOT) stated that the see STAMFORD page 14

Vt.’s J.A. McDonald Crews Nears Halfway on Main Street
J.A. McDonald of Lyndon Center, Vt., has completed about half of the reconstruction work on Main Street in Waterbury, a $21 million job that it started in April and is scheduled for completion in June 2021.
Utility installation involves a repeating pattern of construction sequencing.
By Ken Liebeskind CEG CORRESPONDENT
The project runs along Main Street from the railroad bridge to the north to Demeritt Place to the south.
J.A. McDonald of Lyndon Center, Vt., has completed about half of the reconstruction work on Main Street in Waterbury, a $21 million job that it started in April and is scheduled for completion in June 2021. “It’s a two-and-a-half season project, but it is our goal to be substantially complete in the winter of 2020,” said Eric Boyden, owner of J.A. McDonald. The project runs along Main Street from the railroad bridge to the north to Demeritt Place to the south. The objective of the Main Street project, which has been in planning stages for 30 years, according to the Vermont Agency of Transportation, is to rebuild the roadway, improve safety and mobility and enhance the village core. The project involves full-depth reconstruction of Main Street, including replacing all municipal water, sewer and storm drainage infrastructure and undergrounding all aerial utilities from Stowe Street to the State Office Complex. The project also includes new sidewalks, decorative streetlights, landscaping and streetscape amenities to enhance the appearance of Waterbury village. Utility installation involves a repeating pattern of construction sequencing. At the north end, crews will install sewers. As sewer work advances to the south, crews at the north end will install power utility vaults above the sewer see WATERBURY page 8
When asked if there are any complications with the job, Eric Boyden, owner of J.A. McDonald, said, “When you’re dealing with underground utilities there are always things in the ground nobody knows about, but overall the job has proceeded very smoothly.”

Mass. Among States to Get Big Investment for Infrastructure Massachusetts and 11 other states across the Northeast and the District of Columbia announced the Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI) draft agreement would generate $1.4 billion to $7 billion per year regionally for transportation-related investments and about $500 million per year in Massachusetts to enhance transit system infrastructure, reduce roadway congestion and deliver more resilient, efficient transportation programs. The bipartisan, regional program will increase investments in the Commonwealth’s public transportation infrastructure and in climate resiliency programs to cut carbon emissions and help address the effects of climate change. “Today is a significant step forward in creating a regional program that will deliver substantial resources for Massachusetts’ public transportation infrastructure, reduce carbon emissions and deliver 21st century solutions to our transportation system,” said Gov. Charlie Baker. “Working together across the region is the best opportunity to meet Massachusetts’ transportation challenges and aggressive climate change goals, while ensuring continued economic growth.” “As part of our administration’s commitment to combating climate change, we are proud to be leading this multi-state, bipartisan effort to reduce emissions and invest in the region’s and the Commonwealth’s future,” said Lieutenant Gov. Karyn Polito. “The benefit estimates released today demonstrate the promise of a regional capand-invest program to help Massachusetts reach its emissions reduction requirements while creating healthier and more livable communities by offering cleaner, more affordable transportation options.” Representing 72 million residents and 52 million registered vehicles, the TCI jurisdictions released initial projections of the potential benefits the program would provide region-wide, based on economic modeling that evaluated various options for a program that caps and reduces carbon dioxide pollution from combustion of gasoline and onroad diesel fuel. Under the modeling, which evaluated the results of carbon caps that would reduce carbon emissions by 20 to 25 percent by 2032, the proposed program could yield annual public health benefits
across the Northeast of $3 billion to $10 billion, and $250 million to $892 million in avoided costs due to worsening storms and other climate impacts. States will be able to independently decide how to invest proceeds in accordance with program goals. In the Commonwealth, the Baker-Polito Administration will invest the funding in ways that work best for communities, with the goal of enhancing the transportation system, reducing pollution and increasing economic development while

promoting equity and providing benefits to lower-income and rural communities. Under the Baker-Polito Administration’s transportation funding plan, up to half of the revenue received by Massachusetts from the TCI would be directed to the Commonwealth Transportation Fund. Remaining funds would be invested in programs that reflect important local and community transportation priorities to be developed with public and stakeholder input. Both the business and environmental communities came together to support the Baker-Polito Administration’s decision to join the Initiative. These groups include the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, Ceres, The Environmental League of Massachusetts, the Boston Green Ribbon Commission, The Massachusetts Competitive Partnership, The Massachusetts Business Roundtable and The Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation. The program is modeled after the success of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which has reduced emissions from the power sector and supported important see AGREEMENT page 12

Planned for 30 Years, Waterbury Street Work Nears Midpoint The objective of the Main Street project, which has been in planning stages for 30 years, according to the Vermont Agency of Transportation, is to rebuild the roadway, improve safety and mobility and enhance the village core.
J.A. McDonald won the job after submitting the low bid. The company’s bid of $21 million beat out bids of $23.5 million from Kubricky Construction and $24.5 million from Luck Brothers. WATERBURY from page 4
lines. As the work proceeds on the power utility vaults, installation of water lines will follow. The job is separated into four 1,400-ft. segments of Main Street and J.A. McDonald has replaced the water, sewer and storm drains for segments 3 and 4 and paved sidewalks for these segments. It also has completed water and sewer replacement for segment 2 and is completing storm drains for segment 2 and installing a storm drainage sand filter for segment 1. “Next year we’ll complete underground utilities in Segments 1 and 2 and do full road construction for those seg-
ments,� Boyden said. The project involves digging up the street and replacing aging water and sewer lines, some of which are 100 years old. While the street is opened up, workers will bury the utility lines now strung along poles that line the street so much of the work is being done underground. The job passes along 120 abutting property owners, which makes it large for the state of Vermont, according to Ken Upmal, project manager of the Vermont Agency of Transportation. Boyden said the construction equipment on the job includes a fleet of Caterpillar 315 to 349 sized excavators, a 924 Caterpillar wheel loader, a John Deere 700K dozer and
a fleet of dump trucks. When asked if there are any complications with the job, Boyden said, “When you’re dealing with underground utilities there are always things in the ground nobody knows about, but overall the job has proceeded very smoothly.â€? The job is a Federal Economic Growth Center project and the federal government will cover 95 percent of the cost, about $20 million. The state of Vermont will pay 3 percent, $630,000, and the town of Waterbury will pay $420,000. J.A. McDonald won the job after submitting the low bid. The company’s bid of $21 million beat out bids of $23.5 million from Kubricky Construction and $24.5 million from Luck Brothers.  CEG

Bay State Could See About $500M Per Year in Funding AGREEMENT from page 6
energy efficiency programs in the Commonwealth. The draft MOU builds on the public feedback received, including five regional workshops led by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) and Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to solicit public feedback on draft framework released in October 2019. “Since transportation is responsible for more than 40 percent of the global warming pollution in Massachusetts and the region, we will need to implement bold initiatives to mitigate the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Kathleen Theoharides. “As cochair of the TCI Leadership Team, I am proud to share this draft MOU that reflects extensive public input and modeling results that underscore the benefits and importance of this program.” “The draft Memorandum of Understanding puts us on a path to creating a regional framework to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions from the transportation sector,” said Transportation Secretary and CEO Stephanie Pollack. “Massachusetts is
intensely focused on developing a program that can be broadly acceptable to as many of our partner states as possible. There is strength in numbers, and we look forward to a public conversation between now and March about the specifics of a program that can be widely adopted.” In addition to economic and health benefits, the TCI published a draft Memorandum of Understanding that provides additional details on the program design. A “cap-andinvest” program is being developed to reduce the consumption of on-road diesel and finished motor gasoline. According to the proposal, distributors of gas and diesel fuel would have to purchase allowances through an auction for each ton of carbon emitted when the fuels they sell are burned. Through investments of these proceeds under TCI, the program enables the transition to cleaner fuels and transportation options which would reduce emissions and benefit public health, local communities, and the environment. Unlike a gas tax which is a fixed price on gasoline that does not guarantee emissions reductions, the TCI program sets a cap on pollution and allows the market to determine how best to achieve those emissions reductions.
The draft agreement released by the TCI, created to address greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector, includes initial projections of the potential economic and public health benefits the program would provide as well as additional information on the program design. Last year, the Commonwealth’s Commission on the Future of Transportation’s report called for immediate action to reduce emissions in the sector. “We applaud the Governor for tackling our regional transportation emissions challenges with a cap and trade solution that will reduce carbon pollution and create much needed transportation revenues that will be reinvested in sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including our public transit system,” said Massachusetts Competitive Partnership Chairman Robert Reynolds, president and CEO of Putnam Investments. “AIM supports TCI because it will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector, but will result in investments that will help our transportation system,” said Robert Rio, senior vice president of government affairs, Associated Industries of Massachusetts. “With the disappointing international cli-
mate talks this week and the distressing lack of U.S. federal leadership, it is all the more important that states make urgent progress on reducing climate-warming pollution,” said Nancy Goodman, vice president of Policy, Environmental League of Massachusetts. “The proposed agreement released by the Northeast and MidAtlantic states today caps transportation pollution and starts reducing the impact from cars, trucks, and buses in our cities, towns, and neighborhoods. We applaud the states for their collaboration and urge them to adopt the most ambitious targets and timeline going forward.” “At a time when the climate crisis is more urgent than ever, the Northeastern and midAtlantic states are rising to the challenge. If the states proceed with these policies, they’ll significantly reduce carbon pollution from the transportation sector, the largest source of carbon emissions in the region, improve public health and make transportation cleaner, more affordable and more reliable. Today’s memorandum of understanding offers us a path forward, putting a program in place that states can continue to review and build on,” said Ken Kimmel, president, Union of Concerned Scientists.

Phase 1 consisted of soldier pile and lagging with a concrete faced retaining wall from the train station to Canal Street along I-95 and the new off-ramp. All new drainage and sanitary sewer on South State Street was also constructed during Phase 1, which won an Excellence in Construction Award from CTDOT in 2018.” He said, “Phase 2, which began in June 2018, includes the replacement of the Atlantic Street Bridge and track and infrastructure improvements to the Stamford Train Station.” The highlight of the work on Phase 2 was the use of the Accelerated Bridge Construction method. “ABC is when a bridge is built off-site and transported into location on designated time periods under certain contract requirements,” Engen said. “Our job had six bridge spans that were installed using Self Propelled Modular Transporters (SMPT). Four bridges were built at the on-ramp to I-95 North at Elm and South State streets and two were built on Atlantic Street, just south of Workers roll in one of the bridges inside the nine-day window. the new bridge location.

Aggressive, Yet Realistic Crew Scheduling Marks Project

completed before the ABC work began, Engen said, “The existing bridge was demolished inside our nine-day work window using large excavators and torching methods. Two live tracks were kept intact during demolition by temporary support of excavation methods. Once two of the six bridge spans were installed, train traffic was transferred to the new bridges. We then demolished the remainder of the existing bridge and installed the final four spans.” When asked if there were any complications with the job, Engen said, “One major obstacle was setting up a manpower schedule for nine-day outage. I wanted to be aggressive on the scheduling but also realistic so that all shifts were properly manned for all work operations. We decided to run with two 12-hour continuous shifts that were balanced to allow for any acceleration and/or
deceleration in the schedule. Running two shifts allowed us to properly man the job and ultimately finish ahead of schedule to get our $1-million-dollar milestone.” The new bridge with six spans in place is approximately 150 ft. long and 80 ft. wide. At 2 million lbs. per span, the total weight of the installed bridge is approximately 12 million lbs.. CTDOT said the work on Phase 2 will be completed in November 2020. “These collective improvements will improve surface traffic operational efficiencies, improve access to the South End neighborhoods and improve local and express train service with the addition of a dedicated Track #7, extended platform and dedicated stairway.” Engen said, “All remaining work is track related. We’re adding a sixth track and extending the passenger platforms approxi-

mately 800 feet. Platforms include precast concrete, new canopy steel and egress stairs. New catenary foundations, structures and trusses will be relocated to make way for the new MNR track.” Two subcontractors on the Phase 2 job included Berard/Montz, La., which moved the bridges utilizing the SMPT equipment and Atlantic Coast Dismantling/Saugus, Mass., which demolished the old MNR bridge.
A number of streetscape design elements have been included in the Atlantic Street bridge replacement project, including decorative stamped asphalt red/white crosswalks at Atlantic/Dock streets and Atlantic/South State streets that create an integrated aesthetic to the pedestrian experience at this major Stamford gateway. The high visibility crosswalks provide a traffic calming effect along with a skid resistant surface. CEG

VTrans in May to help cover the costs associated with an April flood event. The FHWA said that storm caused slope failures, washed out pavements and culverts — along with other damage — in six Vermont counties. The $500,000 in ER funds will be used to reimburse VTrans and municipalities for the repairs required to reopen essential federal-aid routes damaged by this storm event and is considered a “down payment” on the costs of short-term repairs while the state continues damage assessments for long-term repairs. “These emergency funds will help pay for
essential repairs to roads and bridges in Vermont damaged by recent storms,” said FHWA Administrator Nicole Nason in a statement. “The federal-aid provided today represents the first installment of our commitment to restoring transportation infrastructure in the state.” The agency noted that, as of September, it has provided $871.2 million in ER funds to help 39 states — as well as American Samoa, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and tribal governments — make repairs to roads and bridges damaged by storms, floods, and other unexpected events over the last three years.
