PRoVIdeNce, R.I. (AP) Just don’t call it a tunnel.

Rhode Island is seeking federal help to replace a dilapidated highway interchange with a $595 million project that would bury a Providence expressway beneath a park-lined boulevard.

critics warn the project could be another Big dig — Boston’s central Artery project that achieved similar results in 2007 after decades of cost overruns that totaled more than $20 billion. transportation officials consider the comparison offbase because there’s no digging involved. they say the interchange of Routes 6 and 10 needs an urgent fix because see PrOVIdENCE page 4

Buried Expressway Would Be Concrete Vault, Not a Tunnel PROVIDENCE from page 1

seven of its nine bridges are structurally deficient, and capping the freeway would heal some of the social wounds caused by mid-20th century planners who carved an ugly bypass through once-thriving neighborhoods.

Here’s a closer look at the plans: Is It a Tunnel?

No, not really, said Department of Transportation spokesman Charles St. Martin. And that’s one of the clearest differences between the Providence idea and blunder-prone projects such as Boston’s Big Dig and Seattle’s ongoing Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement.

“We’re not digging into the earth. The highway’s already at the grade it needs to be,” he said.

That’s because Route 6 is already depressed, running like a car-filled urban canyon though the west side of Providence.

So the plan would be to build a concrete deck, pile dirt onto it and lay surface roads on top.

“You can call it concrete vaults, essentially,” St. Martin said of the lower-level throughways.

It’ll look like a tunnel when you’re driving through it. The state’s own grant application for federal money calls it “short segments of decked-over tunnels.”

Project Cost The estimated cost is $595 million, not including a proposed rapid bus line that could be added later.

The state submitted a request for a $175 million federal

grant awarded to “nationally significant” highway projects.

Most of the rest would be paid through the state’s 10-year transportation repair plan that lawmakers passed and Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo signed this year.

That plan was hotly debated because it will raise money by charging big-rig trucks a toll to pass through Rhode Island.

Will It Cost More?

The project is big by the standards of the nation’s smallest state, but not by the usual definition of a megaproject — one that costs at least $1 billion. But a prominent megaproject skeptic says it fits the profile in other ways.

“This is the type of project where the risk of a cost overrun is very high,” said Bent Flyvbjerg, a professor at Oxford University’s Said Business School who reviewed the state’s grant application at the request of The Associated Press.

“The planners are a bit optimistic if they think that contingency is going to be large enough,” he said.

The Big Dig was originally pitched as a $2.6 billion project but it mushroomed to more than $24 billion.

But the fact that no inner-city digging is involved “makes it a heckuva lot easier,” said Virginia Greiman, a Boston University professor of megaprojects and planning.

She said such projects can work well as long as planners properly take risks into account.

Why Fix It? More than 90,000 trips are made through the 6/10 interchange each day, but its bridges are structurally deficient.

It’s also harmed surrounding neighborhoods such as Olneyville Square, once considered Providence’s second downtown but now one of the city’s poorest districts.

“In its present condition and by its sheer size, the brutalist infrastructure of the 6/10 interchange dominates the surrounding urban landscape,” said the state’s grant application.

A big element of the plan is to hide that urban chasm and reunite long-severed neighborhoods. The extra space would be a “blank canvas for the city” that could be used for parks or development, St. Martin said.

Just a Boulevard?

But critics say what the state’s calling a boulevard is really just a decked highway.

An alliance of public transit advocates and cost-wary Republicans is calling for the state to ditch the bilevel superstructure plan in favor of a cheaper and simpler boulevard.

That could annoy some suburban commuters whose bypass would be reverted back to city roads, but advocates say it could improve traffic flow and leave more room for development.

What’s the Rush?

Some have criticized officials for rushing through their favored plan without more seriously considering alternatives.

One community forum this month grew so heated that Peter Alviti, transportation director had to apologize after berating a critic who accused him of not listening to residents.

“Let me tell you something, pal,” Alviti had said as he wagged his finger. “We took every one of the suggestions.

We ran them through some of the top experts in the country.”

St. Martin said the state had a short time to apply for the federal grant but he said, “this is just the beginning of the process” that will include studying alternatives.

R.J. Poirier Brings Cat 836G Compactor Back to Life R.J. Poirier Heavy Equipment Repair Inc., is a complete machine rebuilding facility, located in Brimfield, Mass. Established in 1983, it is family-owned and operated, providing service to customers in need of heavy equipment repair or rebuild, worldwide.

The company, whose staff includes Real Poirier, president; Rick Poirier, master mechanic; and Michael Poirier, computer diagnostic specialist/technician, recently received a call regarding a Cat 836G compactor that had caught on fire in a landfill.

The customer requested a quote on the extent of the damage and repair cost. In order for R.J. Poirier Heavy Equipment Repair to provide an accurate quote, they had to bring the machine in and completely dismantle it.

The extent of the damage was massive.

From the blade to the engine was destroyed; the cylinder was melted; the fuel tank was blown apart; and the steering valve and hydraulic control valve were melted. Also, every wire harness was destroyed; the steel ends were still connected, but the hoses had disintegrated; and the entire cab of the machine was burned and destroyed.

R.J. Poirier provided the customer with a quote for a total rebuild, compared to the price of a new compactor. It was determined that it was more cost effective to go with the repair, versus buying another machine. The quote was accepted, and R.J. Poirier immediately began the rebuilding process.

The total rebuild took about three months to complete. The extent of the work required meticulous troubleshooting and skilled hands throughout every step. They had to remove the cab, damaged hydraulic pumps, the burned transmission, torque converter, drive shafts, steering cylinders, and hydraulic tank.

All new OEM factory cab parts were used to rebuild the machine along with certified Cat hoses and harnesses; the steering pump and implement pump were Cat remains that were flow tested; and a new hydraulic control valve was purchased and installed.

Rather than replacing the burned operator cab with a brand new one, it was decided the more cost-effective approach was to purchase a used one from a Cat 988 loader. It was made to match the specs of the Cat 836G that was being rebuilt.

This process required installing a wire harness, display, new seat, new heater and air conditioner, glass windows and floor mats.

Once the rebuild was complete, a truck arrived to pick it from R.J. Poirier and deliver it back to the customer.

Real Poirier obtained his mechanical engineering degree from Wentworth

Institute of Technology in Boston, Mass.

When he founded the company, he originally worked for a dealer who primarily used smaller earth-moving equipment.

Over the past 20 years, the company has expanded into the heavy equipment arena, specializing in mining, aggregate, large earth-moving machines and waste industry.

R.J. Poirier provides the following component repair and rebuilding services: engine; transmission; undercarriage; bucket/blade rebuild; software updates/enhancements; line boring; welding; machining; An overhead view shows the extent of the burn damage. The wiring, hoses and harsee POIRIER page 8

nesses were completely destroyed.

The Cat 836G had to be completely dismantled to determine the extent of the damage.

The wire harness display shows the extent of the damage. The wires disintegrated and blew out of the sockets.

After 20 Years of Study, Much-Needed Project Gets Moving SPAULDING from page 1

in order to conceptually develop both a short-range plan to address existing safety deficiencies and a variety of long-term improvement options for detailed engineering and environmental studies.

From 2003 to 2008 the project team, advisory task force and interested Seacoast stakeholders evaluated a range of reasonable alternatives to identify a preferred alternative to improve long-term mobility and safety along the Spaulding Turnpike between Exit 1 and the Dover toll plaza just north of Exit 6. The 3.5-mi. stretch of the turnpike in this area is characterized by closely spaced interchanges, substandard geometry and shoulder areas and capacity-constrained conditions during the weekday morning and evening commuter periods.

Preliminary engineering and environmental studies were completed and a Preferred Alternative was proposed. The Seacoast Metropolitan Planning Organization deemed the need for the Newington-Dover Turnpike improvements a top long-term priority.

The first of five contracts saw work on the new channel crossing begin in spring of 2010, almost exactly 20 years after the study began.

Purposeful The purpose of this project, which is included in the state’s tenyear-plan, is to improve transportation efficiency and reduce safety problems, while minimizing social, economic and environmental impacts along this section of the Spaulding Turnpike.

In addition to linking the Seacoast Region with Concord, the eastern portion of the Lakes Region, and the White Mountains, the Spaulding Turnpike also is part of the National Highway System.

Functionally classified as a principal arterial, it is a major commuter route that joins the growing residential areas of DoverSomersworth-Rochester with the industrial and regional commercial centers in Newington, Portsmouth and northern Massachusetts. It is the major artery for freight into and out of the areas north of the Little Bay Bridges and also serves as a

major tourist route.

Traffic volumes on the Little Bay Bridges have steadily increased from approximately 30,000 vehicles per day in 1980 to almost 70,000 vehicles per day in 2001, said Keith Cota, PE, chief project manager, Bureau of Highway Design, resulting in high levels of congestion on the bridges and along the turnpike in the interchange areas.

Heavy volume during weekday and weekend peak hours results in unacceptable levels of service, with motorists experiencing severe congestion and long delays along this segment of the corridor.

Looking ahead, the problem is expected to worsen, with the average daily traffic volume expected to increase to approximately 94,000 vehicles per day by 2025.

Future projections indicate that if the turnpike is not improved, weekday traffic congestion will spread to additional hours of the morning and evening, and safety conditions will continue to deteriorate, Cota said.

Complicating traffic flow are a number of existing geometric deficiencies such as limited sight distance and substandard shoulder width on the Little Bay Bridges and substandard merge, diverge and weave areas at the interchanges. Many of the traffic maneuvers required to enter, exit or change lanes along this section of the Turnpike contribute to accidents.

The existing acceleration, deceleration and weaving sections along the turnpike are inadequate by current design standards, Cota notes.

As traffic volume increases, so do accidents, which create long delays in an area where no viable alternate routes exist.

Local connectivity for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists from one side of the turnpike to the other is deficient. This section of the turnpike bisects the residential and recreational areas in Dover and the residential and commercial/industrial areas in Newington, forcing those traveling east and west to maneuver an inefficient and circuitous route on the turnpike.

The selected alternative will implement transportation system management improvements such as reusing the General Sullivan

Bridge for pedestrian, bicycle and recreational use. It includes provisions for future rail service, improving bus transit service and instituting other strategies that may reduce vehicle trips along the Spaulding Turnpike, in addition to upgrading the mainline, Little Bay Bridges and interchanges.

Bigger and Better The project will correct safety and capacity deficiencies by expanding the current four-lane capacity along the 3.5-mi. section to eight lanes and reduce the number of interchanges from six to four.

Contract Number Three: Little Bay Bridge The third contract for rehabilitation of the existing Little Bay Bridge crossing “is a subset of five total turnpike projects,” Cota explained. “It is a complex bridge rehab over fast tidal current.”

The nine-span, 1,589-ft. (487 m) -long structure will feature three general-purpose lanes plus an auxiliary lane in each direction to provide an adequate level of service for projected traffic numbers in 2025. The existing profile of the Little Bay Bridges — suitable for 60 mi. (96.5 km) per hour design criteria — will be maintained, as will the existing vertical clearance over the navigable channel.

Rehabilitation will involve replacing the existing bridge decks and evaluating the existing steel girders to determine if modification or replacement is required. Cota said the rehab project will “replace the older 1966 steel stringers, rehab the mechanical connectors on the 1984 constructed bridge segment and replace the bridge deck.”

Construction will be completed in two phases, with traffic maintained on the existing bridges and shifted once the widened section is completed so rehab can begin.

General contractor R. S. Audley, Inc., from Bow, N.H., is overseeing 22 sub-contractors. After removal of the existing bridge, at a cost of $1.9 million, crews will furnish 66,780 lbs. (30,291 kg) of driving pile, 1.17 million lbs. (534,175 kg) of epoxy-coated reinforcing steel, shear connectors, 3.35 million lbs. (1.5 million kg) of structural steel and 4,259 cu. yds. (3,256 cu m) of concrete decking.

Limited excavation is needed for the project, Cota said, and material will be reused onsite.

“There is a total of 1,600 cu. yds. of common excavation and 2,090 cu. yds. of common bridge excavation.”

Little Bay is a tidal area with currents up to seven knots (12 ft./sec.) and variations in water elevations of upwards to seven feet between high and low tides.

“The challenge for the project,” Cota said, “is working over a waterway that has strong tidal flows, and adjacent to heavy traffic flows.”

Another challenge was relocating a distribution gas main located under the existing bridge prior to construction.

“Due to project timing, the utility owner, Unitil Gas Company, completed a directional bore for relocation of the gas line under the Little Bay for a distance of 2,550 feet,” Cota stated.

General Sullivan Bridge Other bridges will be rehabilitated under other contracts. The General Sullivan Bridge, which is an historic landmark structure identified as a highly valued resource eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, is an obstruction to navigation within the channel.

The GSB is the second-highest rated historic bridge in the state’s historic bridge inventory due to its association with the development of the regional transportation network and with well-known and respected bridge designers, as well as its embodiment of distinctive characteristics of multi-span through truss bridges over navigable waterways. Because of its historic significance, this bridge is federally protected, which is why it will be rehabilitated to serve pedestrians, bicyclists and recreational use instead of replaced with a multi-use path attached to the rehabilitated and widened Little Bay Bridges.

However, retaining it requires the removal of the bridge’s northerly approach embankment and wing walls to facilitate the proposed reconstruction of Hilton Drive. The existing concrete wing wall along the approach embankment will be removed, exposing the back of the abutment.

A new pedestrian/bike path will connect the north end of the bridge with the Hilton Drive sidewalk. Currently used for recreational activities such as fishing and bicycling, this bridge is an important pedestrian connection across Little Bay. The cost for rehabilitation is less than $10 million.

Major Project Elements In total, five interchanges will be consolidated or reconfigured. Exits 2 and 5 will be eliminated, with Exits 3, 4 and 6 providing full access in all directions. Park and ride facilities will be located at Exit 9 in Dover, Exit 13 in Rochester, and along U.S. 4 in Lee. An elevated rail connection from the Newington Branch Line into Pease Tradeport is planned.

Cota said the final two contracts will be paid through a combination of toll revenue and bonding, and are on the schedule as approved.
