PROVIDENCE (AP) Rhode Island transportation officials said they’ll have 77 construction projects this year totaling $715 million. The state began tolling trucks last year to pay for bridge and road repairs. Neighboring Connecticut is considering whether to implement
tolls. The Department of Transportation held an event April 19 to begin its 2019 construction season at the Interstate 295 bridges between Johnston and Cranston, R.I. The department is repairing the bridges this year, a $22 million project.
The 77 projects include bridge repair, replacement and preservation work for 177 bridges. Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo said the projects will create jobs and help pull the state out of the bottom of lists that rank poor roads and bridges.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) The Maine Department of Transportation commissioner is warning that higher-than-expected bids will mean tens of millions of dollars in cuts on road work. Transportation Commissioner Bruce Van Note recently told lawmakers he’s already had to reject three projects. That includes a Portland project whose lowest bid was $1.1 million, which is more than double the estimated amount. Republicans are urging lawmakers to use addi-
tional revenues to fill the gap. Van Note said overall bids are about 30 percent higher than last year. He said that’s despite a 10 percent increase in the estimated price of projects. The commissioner said workforce availability may be a root cause of high bids. He said he expects to release a longer list of eliminated highway reconstruction, bridges and paving projects.
Burlington Mall Has No Construction Date, Developers Stress Progress BURLINGTON, VT. (AP) Developers of a mall in Burlington, Vt., said they’re making progress on financing plans and have construction documents out to bid. Vermont Public Radio reports the $235 million project has been stalled and is months behind schedule. Earlier this year, international developer Brookfield Properties, the managing partner in the project, took over day-to-day operations from developer Don Sinex.
Brookfield representatives gave the City Council an update on April 29, saying they’ve addressed “key milestones” for the University of Vermont Medical Center, one of the core tenants. No construction timelines were given, and councilors expressed their concerns. Will Voegele of Brookfield said he took the concerns seriously and would work to provide more information and contact going forward.

Seacoast Reliability Project Seeks Permit for Line Work Seacoast Reliability Project from Public Service Company of New Hampshire doing business as Eversource Energy Inc. is seeking a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District to conduct work in waters of the United States in conjunction with constructing a transmission line from Madbury to Portsmouth, N.H. This work is proposed in wetlands and waters between the Madbury Substation to the Portsmouth Substation, in New Hampshire. The proposed work involves both direct permanent and temporary discharges of dredged or fill material into various wetlands and waters of the United States along the proposed route to provide a parallel path to enhance the existing 115kV loop between the Deerfield and Scobie Pond Substations in order to address reliability concerns in the New Hampshire Seacoast Region, which have been previously identified by the Independent System Operator-New England (ISO-NE). The proposed line will be compromised of overhead transmission structures and conductor, underground cable and submarine cables. The proposed 115 kV transmission Line F107 will run approximately 12.9 mi. from a new 115 kV bay at Madbury Substation to a
The proposed work involves both direct permanent and temporary discharges of dredged or fill material into various wetlands and waters of the United States along the proposed route to provide a parallel path to enhance the existing 115kV loop between the Deerfield and Scobie Pond Substations. new 115kV bay at Portsmouth Substation. The transmission line will be located primarily within an existing electric utility corridor that is currently occupied by a 34.5 kV overhead distribution supported by direct embedded wood pole structures. There will be two terrestrial sections of the new 115kV line that will be constructed underground with three solid dielectric insulated cables installed in individual PE conduits. Additionally, there will be one new 115kV line that will be constructed completely underwater with three specialized
solid dielectric insulated submarine cables directly buried across Little Bay. Impacts to wetlands and waters of the United States include approximately .02 acre of permanent impact to non-tidal wetlands and 0.2 acre of permanent impacts to tidal wetlands. Permanent impacts are associated with the installation of new transmission line structures in terrestrial areas and the need for concrete mattresses for cable protection in estuarine areas. Temporary impacts include approximately 7 acres to non-tidal wetlands, 0.01 acre to river/stream, and 6 acres to tidal
wetlands. Temporary impacts are associated with timber matting along access roads and for work pads and for impacts associated with installation of the marine cables using jetplow and hand-jetting technology. The proposed project will have an adverse effect on approximately 7 acres of Essential Fish Habitat (EFH). This habitat consists of fine sand, silt and soft mud in the intertidal zone and in deeper areas the substrate is made up of fine to medium sands, silts, clay and shell fragments. Loss of this habitat may adversely affect species that use these waters and substrate. The Corps has made a preliminary determination that site-specific impacts may be substantial. Accordingly, the Corps submitted an EFH assessment to the National Marine Fisheries Service for EFH consultation. The application for the federal permit was filed with the Corps in compliance with Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, which provides for federal regulation of any work in, or affecting navigable waters of the U.S.; and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which regulates the discharge or fill of material in U.S. waters, including wetlands.

MassDOT and the MBTA are announcing that the South Coast Rail Program has reached two critical Phase 1 milestones: a finance plan is complete and will be fully funded in the Commonwealth’s Capital Investment Plan and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has approved the final federal permit required for the program to advance. Meanwhile, early action steps are underway including infrastructure work and the acquisition of land for stations. “Providing rail service between the South Coast and Boston will increase access to economic opportunities in both regions,” said Gov. Charlie Baker. “After decades of promised service, today’s announcement moves the project further than it’s ever been before, and our administration is proud to continue advancing South Coast Rail.” “Residents in southeastern Massachusetts deserve reliable and affordable commuter rail access to Boston, and MassDOT and the MBTA have completed critical steps to make this a reality,” said Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito. “The administration will continue to work with local partners throughout the project.” “The last major hurdle with Phase 1 proceeding was the Finance Plan and now that hurdle is gone — funding has been identified,” said Transportation Secretary and CEO Stephanie Pollack. “Phase 1 of South Coast Rail will be funded one hundred percent by the Commonwealth and the MBTA will not be required to provide any capital funding or issue any revenue bonds that might otherwise impact the MBTA’s future operating budget. We are now well on our way to offering passenger rail service to the South Coast in a few short years with the financing secure, major permits in hand and infrastructure being built.” “Today, restoration of passenger rail to the South Coast takes a major step forward thanks to the efforts of MassDOT, the MBTA, and the Executive Office for Administration and Finance to develop the Finance Plan,” said Steve Poftak, MBTA general manager. The South Coast Rail Phase 1 Finance Plan was created after independent cost and schedule reviews were conducted by three firms — the existing project manager, the existing owner’s representative and an outside firm hired by the MBTA. A workshop was held to review the three submissions on cost and schedule and a consensus was achieved on the program cost of $1.047 billion. In consultation with the Executive Office for Administration and Finance, the decision was made that Phase 1 would be

funded 100 percent by the Commonwealth through a combination of general obligation bonds and special obligation bonds to be issued under existing authorization for the Rail Enhancement Program. The MBTA will not be required to issue any revenue bonds that might otherwise impact the MBTA’s future operating budgets. All bond cap provided to the South Coast Rail Program will be in addition to the bond cap that MassDOT currently receives to fund its capital plan and there will be no reduction in bond cap allocated to MassDOT as part of the South Coast Rail Finance Plan. While a previous estimate projected that Phase 1 would allow for passenger rail service between Boston and Taunton, New Bedford and Fall River to begin in late 2022, based on the consensus of the three independent reviews, the date for start of service is now projected to be in late 2023. Several permitting milestones which have been achieved this year include this month’s final USACE approval and the issuance of the Chapter 91 License, MassDEP 401 Permit and the Mass Coastal Zone Management Consistency Review. The elements of Phase 1 of the South Coast Rail Program include: • Extending the existing Middleborough Line service using diesel-powered trains to New Bedford and Fall River; • reconstructing 17.3 mi. of the New Bedford Main Line and 11.7 mi. of the Fall River Secondary; • upgrading the existing Middleborough Secondary track from Pilgrim Junction to Cotley Junction, (a distance of 7.1 mi.); • constructing two new layover facilities; and • constructing six new stations.

Maine Holds Public Workshop for Veranda Street Bridge
The Maine Department of Transportation held a public workshop in Portland on April 30 to discuss the upcoming I295 Veranda Street Bridge Replacement Project. This is part of an ongoing effort to engage the public. The purpose of this workshop was to solicit meaningful public input and feedback regarding project design and implementation. The Veranda Street Bridge is nearing its 60th year of service. The structure needs to be replaced. Also, the roadway configuration beneath the bridge is confusing and con-
tributes to a high number of crashes. This project aims to increase safety and mobility both on the interstate and the roads underneath it. To minimize traffic impacts, this project will use accelerated bridge construction (ABC). Crews will close part of I295 in Portland in the spring of 2021 for one weekend to accommodate the complete removal and replacement of the

MaineDOT’s partners for this project include HNTB, a Westbrook firm that is part of the design team, and the city of Portland, which is designing and funding the development of the green space near the project. At the public workshop, representatives from MaineDOT, HNTB and the city of Portland were available to discuss topics that include design, construction, safety, traffic and bicyclist/pedestrian access. MaineDOT expects to put the Veranda Street Bridge construction work out to bid in 2020 with construction beginning later that year. The target time for the bridge closure weekend is spring of 2021. Work should be complete by late summer 2021. The cost of construction is estimated at $14 million. For more information, visit maine.gov/mdot/projects/portland/verandastreetbridge.

The project includes resurfacing 10.6 mi. of roadway between I-190 and I-495 and six exit ramps in addition to the resurfacing of several bridges. Exit ramp resurfacing will be done on ramps and exits 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and exit 40. Construction for this project is scheduled to begin in summer 2019. Full beneficial use is expected to be reached in spring 2021 with the remainder of the contract expected to be completed in fall 2021. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased that the MassDOT Board has approved this important resurfacing project,â&#x20AC;? said Jonathan Gulliver, highway administrator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is vital that we continue to make targeted investments to repair and improve our transportation infra-
structure so that it will continue to provide value for the Commonwealth.â&#x20AC;? This contract is part of MassDOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Capital Investment Plan. MassDOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic Capital Investment Plan uses state and federal money to fund transportation investments across Massachusetts. These include all MassDOT highway and municipal projects, regional airports, rail and transit projects including the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and Regional Transit Authorities as well as the MassDOT Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV). Updated annually, the CIP uses a combination of public and stakeholder input with both objective and comparative evaluation of projects to select programs that will be funded over the next five fiscal years.

Reed & Reed Leads Route 302 Construction in Maine

“Two lanes of traffic are needed in and out of town for the fair and there is only one lane of traffic during construction,” Wentworth said. Patrick Holland, vice president of construction operations of AJ Coleman, said, “We’re rebuilding and widening Route 302 to widen the canopy and allow more room for drainage. We using recycled asphalt and blending it with the gravel below and paving with new concrete on top of that.” Construction equipment to be used includes feller bunchers, skid steers and bucket trucks. The company also performed earth work early in the job and utilized excavators and bulldozers, Holland said. Caterpillar equipment is being used. The company will meet the August 2020 deadline and not complete all work this year. “The injection process is time dependent and we can’t inject after Sept. 15, so we will be injecting and paving next season,” Holland said. Ernest Martin, a Maine DOT spokesperson, said the budget for the project is $15.4 million, with 80 percent funded by the federal government and 20 percent paid by the state. Mark Debowski, project manager of
Stantec of Auburn, N.H., the design firm on the project, said Northeast Extreme Tee (NEXT) beams were used on the bridges, which offers improved durability and design flexibility. Both bridges were expanded to 34-ft. width and 58-ft. span to match the width of the paved shoulders on Route 302. He said Route 302 is being widened to add paved shoulders on both sides and 2,300 ft. of sidewalk is being added on sections of the highway. “The existing bridges were 31 feet and the new bridges will be 34 feet,” Wentworth said. “We’re gaining almost five feet of roadway width. They were designed for the amount of traffic. The Saco River runs through it and the new bridges will be set back from the river and further up the banks of the river instead of on the edge of the river.” The Route 302 road reconstruction proceeds from the New Hampshire state line east 1.16 mi. to Elm Street and from Recreational Complex Road east 3.22 mi. to the bridge over Osgood Brook. “The decision was made to do the construction three or four years ago. The road was in bad shape from Bridgton to the state line and needs to be completely reconstructed and widened,” said Sharon Jackson, Fryeburg town manager. CEG

Martha’s Vineyard Gambling Hall Construction to Begin AQUINNAH, Mass. (AP) A Massachusetts tribe said construction is expected to begin for a gambling hall on the resort island of Martha’s Vineyard. The Aquinnah Wampanoags tribe said Williams Building Company of Hyannis has been chosen as general contractor for the project. The 10,000-sq. ft. facility that’s planned to have approximately 250 electronic gaming machines is being built on tribal trust lands.
The tribe said the gambling hall will employ almost 100 full- and part-time employees when operating. Construction is expected to take about six months to complete. The tribe already announced that Global Gaming Solutions would be the developer and consultant for the facility. The U.S. Supreme Court last year declined to take up a legal challenge brought by the state and town.

Lewiston-Portland Passenger Rail Service Could Cost $300M A consulting engineer said a proposed commuter rail service connecting Lewiston and Auburn to Portland could cost up to $300 million. Natasha Velickovic of the engineering firm VHB said trains would cost between $75 million and $95 million, and annual operating and maintenance costs would fall between $15 million and $20 million. The Sun Journal reported Velickovic presented
her findings to the Lewiston/Auburn Passenger Rail Service Plan Committee on Mar. 27. The process for pursuing passenger rail service in the Lewiston area began in 2015, when the Legislature approved $400,000 to conduct a study on the implementation of passenger rail service. The study estimates that between 700 and 1,900 people would ride the rail daily.
