The main challenge with the project is maintaining a fully functional ER with 35,000 visits annually and completing construction within that space.
Rutland Regional Medical Center in Rutland, Vt., is currently undergoing a renovation and expansion of its emergency department. The project began in February, and is expected to take up to 18 months while the emergency department remains fully operational. The contract includes 1,840 sq. ft. (171 sq m) of new construction and partial renovations of the current 13,657 sq.-ft. (1,269 sq m) area. The number of emergency treatment rooms, currently 19, will be increased to 26 with the new addition designed for five behavioral health treatment rooms and two isolation rooms that can be converted to behavioral health rooms. In addition, the lobby area will be secured for
the safety of patients, visitors and staff by creating a controlled access to public waiting areas. A new security office will be added along with enhanced security measures. see rutlANd page 16
Project Will Increase Clearance to 16 Feet on Connecticut’s Mayflower Bridge By lori tobias CEG CORRESPONDENT
Years of collisions with trucks that were just too tall to fit under Connecticut’s Mayflower Bridge in West Hartford have prompted a replacement project that will add about 2 ft. (.6 m) to the bridge, originally built in 1965. “The I-84 eastbound side has a minimum height at 14 feet,” said Louis Bacho, transportation supervising engineer with the Connecticut Department of Transportation. “That’s the lowest span. The girders had experienced bridge hits over the years. That’s the main reason to replace the superstructure. The substructure is in good shape. We’ve increased the vertical clearance to 16.3 from the roadway to the lowest girder. We’re raising it almost two feet on that one span. We shouldn’t have issues in the future.” Construction on the $6.2 million project got under way in the see MAYFlOWEr page 6
