During a time of urban renewal, it was the first public building constructed over a federal interstate highway. When it opened in 1976, after years of construction delays, the municipal center of Fall River was unique in America, perched directly above Interstate 195. After a major discovery of rot and danger below it, state officials are putting the final touches on multi-million dollar renovations to the Fall River City Hall and the supports through the tunnel below it. Five years of highway and structural work over, above and under the center of the city of Fall River are coming to a very positive end as the Government Center Project nears completion. MassHighway officials said that by January, the pinched off lanes of EastWest Interstate 195 will finally be opened in both directions, something not seen since the middle of George W. Bush’s presidency. The long-running local project, which motorists have witnessed in delicate phases around the city’s central City Hall, began on Sept. 20, 2005. Stage I construction included the demolition of and rebuilding of the south, east and west upper plaza at City Hall, painting structural steel and installing tunnel lighting, according to Jeff Morra, resident engineer of
MassHighway. Stage II construction, Morra added, was the demolition and rebuilding of the north upper plaza at City Hall, installing steel hangers and WT beams, deck panels and fireproofing material. Stage III is to complete structural painting, tunnel lighting and installing steel hangers, deck pans panels and fireproofing material, some 85 percent that went up this fall. While lanes have been restricted under the city for years, see RENOVATION page 6
