CALL 888-81-GORILLA(46745) *Some restrictions apply

The Connecticut Department of Transportation’s (CTDOT) $34.8 million project to replace the Route 8/25 bridges in Bridgeport has exceeded the half-way point as crews from Manafort Brothers Incorporated are working hard to meet the September delivery date. The four bridges being rehabilitated carry an average of 88,000 cars over Capital Avenue, Lindley Street and a large parking lot. The Lindley Street Bridge consists of seven, 82 ft. (25 m) long spans with four 12-ft. (3.6 m) lanes and two shoulders in each direction. The project will reduce the bridge to two spans while keeping the same lane and shoulder capacity. The Capital Avenue Bridge, consisting of a single span

with four 12-ft. lanes and two shoulders in each direction will be replaced with a similar structure. The work also includes the construction of a large retaining wall to support 425 ft. (130 m) of new highway, the rehabilitation of the metal bin-wall retaining wall which is currently supporting Route 8 southbound, south of Capital Avenue and capacity improvements to two intersections on Lindley Street adjacent to Route 8 northbound. The bridges will be demolished and rebuilt in a different configuration using accelerated bridge construction techniques. The new superstructures will consist of prefabricated bridge units (PBUs), which consists of two steel beams fabricated with an integral concrete deck to form a double tee section. The PBUs will be connected in the field with narrow longitudinal closure pours. see CtdOt page 8

CTDOT’s Program Results in Bridge Replacement Project CTDOT from page 1

The Lindley Street Bridges will be reduced to two spans each by filling in five of the seven spans on each bridge. The pier to the north of the second span will be converted to an abutment by constructing a retaining wall behind the existing pier. The substructures to the north of the final two span structures will be left in place and buried. The area under the spans to be removed will be filled. The fill will be retained by concrete retaining walls built outboard of the existing bridge limits. Federal highway funds cover 85 percent of the cost, with the remaining 15 percent from the state. The existing bridges, nearly 2 mi. (3.2 km) north of Interstate 95, were built in 1973 and according to CTDOT, have reached the “excessive deterioration” point and cannot be repaired. “The bridges are part of CTDOT’s bridge program which prioritizes work based on a continuous assessment of the remaining useful life of bridges and their need to be replaced or rehabilitated,” stated the project Web site. “CTDOT has determined that the bridges involved are reaching the end of their useful life and warrant rehabilitation.” “The existing precast concrete beams supporting the roadway are experiencing what is called an Alkali-Silica Reaction, where, due to a chemical reaction within the concrete, the concrete literally self-destructs,” said Scott Adkins, project engineer of CTDOT. “While the bridges are currently structurally safe, there is no way to repair the beams, and therefore the entire superstructure must be replaced. In the 1970s, ASR was a common problem. Fortunately, advances in concrete construction have significantly reduced the Manafort Brothers Incorporated photo occurrence of ASR. CTDOT noted that work will continue on the construction of PBUs in the construction area along Route 8 NB at “Lane closure and stage construction periExit 5 and that in early summer, these ods that would impact the travel lanes on PBUs will be transported to the Lindley Street and Capital Avenue sites to be set Route 8/25 have been reduced from two in place once the existing structures years to two periods of approximately 14 have been removed. days each,” said Adkins. “The ability to reduce the impact on the traveling public is very important to the department and played employ accelerated bridge construction a central role in the design of the project and methods would create long term impacts on is part of the ‘get in and get out’ policy put the public.

CTDOT’s Route 8/25 Project Reaches Half-Way Point CTDOT from page 8

proposed for the northbound exit ramp at Lindley Street. An additional lane will be added to the end of the ramp to make more room for turning vehicles onto Lindley Street. The intersection at the Lindley Street ramp will be upgraded along with the intersection of Lindley Street and Route 1 (North Avenue).” CTDOT noted that work will continue on the construction of PBUs in the construction area along Route 8 NB at Exit 5 and that in early summer, these PBUs will be transported to the Lindley Street and Capital Avenue sites to be set in place once the existing structures have been removed. Justin Gill, Manafort’s heavy highway department manager, takes nothing for granted in terms of working conditions. “With last winter still fresh in our minds,” he said, “we planned for the additional effort required to place PBU concrete during the cold weather months. Fortunately, the reality was unseasonably warm weather for late fall and early winter. This allowed us to place most of the concrete in quite favorable temps. All of the PBU concrete was placed prior to the first large snow storm of the season.” This also is CTDOT’s first design-build project and Gill is confident that Manafort has a thorough knowledge of the work, especially the upcoming bridge reconstruction. “Construction of each stage will be limited to 14 consecutive calendar days for each stage,” he said. “During each 14-day period, one side of the expressway will be completed, including construction of two bridges and the final filling Manafort Brothers Incorporated photo of the spans under the Lindley Street Bridge.

ASSoCIATED PRESS

GREENSBoRo, Vt. (AP) In the snowy woods of northern New England and other forested parts of the country, the lumberjack is an endangered species. As markets for forest products change and high-tech machinery replaces chain saws, which themselves replaced the ax, a generations-old way of life is disappearing, one that historically saw fathers pass on to their sons their love and knowledge of the woods and the independence that came from working for oneself. Ken Davis feels this keenly as he reaches retirement age after a half-century career with no one to pass the torch to. Davis once employed 19 people full-time to cut the wood, haul it and then truck it, sometimes to his log yard, other times directly to the now-disappearing mills across Vermont, New

Hampshire, Maine and upstate New York that would turn it into lumber or process it into paper. He now employs seven, and has no sons. His daughter and son-in-law tried it for a while, but they didn’t keep at it. “I’ve got the sawdust in my veins, and they don’t make a dialysis machine to get it out, so I’m still here,” Davis said recently at his log yard in the town of Hardwick, in an especially rural region Vermonters call the Northeast Kingdom. None of Davis’ employees are showing interest in taking over his business. It’s the same story across the region, said Michael Snyder, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation. “It’s dangerous, it’s hard to make a living and everybody hates you,” Snyder said of logging. “Who’s signing up for that?” The arguments for not becoming a logger are solid. For one, there’s just not as much

demand for paper and other wood products because of low commodity prices and international competition, making it less secure than it once was. It’s physically and — yes — intellectually demanding work that increasingly requires special skills to run hugely expensive, high-tech machinery. And because of that machinery, capital investment needed to get started can be prohibitive. The renaissance that farming has undergone in recent years, with an emphasis on food systems and sustainable agriculture, hasn’t brought the same energy to logging. In many quarters, loggers are still seen as despoilers of the land. But Snyder noted that while forests can do just fine on their own, logging can support their health by weeding out infestations and invasive species. Logging entails a number of jobs, including fallers, who cut down trees by hand — essentially, lumberjacks; see LOGGING page 18

In this Jan. 20, 2016, photo, logs destined for a mill are unloaded at a satellite wood yard in Harwick, Vt. The owner of the yard, Ken Davis, said he isn’t sure what he’ll do with his business when he retires because none of his employees want to take it over. Experts said it’s a problem across the Northeast as loggers age and fewer young people take it up. LOGGING from page 16

operators of machinery used to fell trees; and graders and scalers, who check the amount and quality of the wood. The number of all logging workers is expected to fall only 4 percent from 2014 to 2024, from 53,700 to 51,700, according to Bureau of Labor projections. Nationwide, the number of fallers is projected to decline 17 percent over the same period, from 8,200 in 2014 to 6,800 in 2024. With the industry becoming more mechanized, the number of equipment operators is expected to stay about the same, with graders and scalers declining 2 percent and all other logging workers falling 7 percent. “Today you are running a half-million, $600,000 machine, and not only do you need to operate it, you’ve got to read GPS and computer-based technology equipment, you’ve got to be able to service and maintain that equipment, you have to know forestry, environmental law, best management practices, tree identification,” said Dana Doran, executive director of the Professional Logging Contractors of Maine.

Across the region, efforts are under way to bring along young loggers. The Vermont Technical College in Randolph helps train forest technicians. In Maine, the industry is backing a plan to train logging technicians in community colleges. In the Northeast Kingdom, one of Davis’ workers, 31-year-old Aaron Martin, said he likes the freedom of working outside in different places. He has been logging for 10 years, but few of his friends have been drawn to the life, he said: “They don’t like being out in the cold.” But as much as he likes his work, he has no interest in being the boss. “With that comes its own headaches,” he said. “It’s nice to be able to work for somebody else and not deal with all the stress that comes with paying all the bills and everything that goes with it, finding the next job. “I just go to work and do what I’m told. It’s a lot simpler that way.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
