After Much Debate, Memorial Bridge Project on ‘Fast Track to Completion’ By Jay adams CEG CORRESPONDENT
Photo courtesy of Dennis McIntire, Rye, N.H.
South span just removed from position.
In a sepia-toned, grainy silent movie, five-year-old Eileen Dondero (later Foley), a pixie with scissors, cuts the ceremonially wide ribbon and two stately governors — Fred H. Brown of New Hampshire and Percival P. Baxter of Maine — shake hands on the brand- new bridge that spanned the Piscataqua River to connect their two states. That historic August 1923 day on the new World War Memorial Bridge remained with the young girl who later served as Mayor of Portsmouth, N.H. for eight terms. Precious to Eileen Foley, the bridge was just as special to the residents of her town on the south side and the residents of Kittery, Maine, up river, 1,000 ft. of steel away. Fast forward nine decades. From that day until July 27, 2011, people could walk or bike or drive from state to state across Route 1, carried over the Piscataqua. Then, owing to the toll taken by 88 years in a marine environment, Maine and New Hampshire Department of Transportation officials shut the bridge to vehicles. On January 9, 2012, the bridge was permanently shut down so it could be demolished and replaced by a new bridge. A month later, the bridge’s center lift span, consisting of some 2 million pounds of well-worn steel, was removed from its supports and lowered onto a barge to be taken away to a Boston-area scrap yard. For several years, locals had argued vehemently to have the bridge repaired, not replaced. They wanted the original span to remain, improved. But with escalating maintenance costs reaching the million-dollar mark annually, officials, commuters, pedestrians and bicyclists from both states of the river agreed that a new Memorial Bridge was needed. By summer 2013 they will have one.
Challenges Overcome Enter Archer Western Contractors of Canton, Mass., and welcome to the Memorial Bridge Project, a $90 million enterprise on the fast track to completion. Formidable economic, calendar and environmental challenges have been overcome. First, Archer Western had to win a competitive bid process, which they did in part by submitting a proposal to do the work months ahead of what would be considered the usual schedule for a project of this magnitude. Then, add working over a river with one of the biggest tide sets in North America, in a very crowded and historic setting with two million pounds of steel and concrete to remove. “The biggest challenge has been the foundation construction, the piers,” said Senior Project Manager Steve DelGrosso. “The river here is pretty tough to work on. The strong current and the tides are very difficult to deal with. You need experienced personnel and the correct marine equipment to deal with this environment, especially on our tight schedule.” Archer Western was selected through a public bidding process for three salient reasons, said DelGrosso: see BriDge page 4

ders on this project,” said DelGrosso. “We worked closely with the New York and Boston offices of the engineering firm, HNTB, to provide NHDOT with an innovative designbuild proposal. “Our team proposed to change the coating system on the structural steel from paint to a ‘metalized’ finish,” he added. In layman’s terms, the spans are sprayed with a zinc coating. It’s a galvanizing coat that can triple the life of the coating on the bridge.” Removal of a Landmark The old bridge’s demolition and removal was sub-contracted out to North American Site Development, Inc.

New State Ranking System Makes N.H. DISPLAY ADS/ Schools Compete for Construction Aid CLASSIFIEDS By Norma Love ASSOCIATED PRESS
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) New Hampshire ends nearly six decades of providing school construction aid to all comers with a new law that uses a ranking system to determine which projects get funding. The law wipes out a practice in place since 1955 that set no limits on who could get aid and replaces it with one
where schools compete for limited aid dollars. The state is capping aid at $50 million annually, but only $6.2 million of that is available for new projects the first year. The rest is earmarked to pay off the state’s roughly $540 million share of 360 existing projects. The rankings for the projects will be made by a six-member committee; then the state Board of Education must approve them.
Hope Perkins Takes on New Role as President, CEO of ABC’s Maine Chapter AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) The Maine chapter of a national association that represents constructionrelated firms has a new president. Hope Perkins has assumed the role of president and CEO of the Associated Builders and Contractors of Maine. Perkins has been with ABC
Maine for more than six years. She recently held the post of vice president of member services. She assumed her new role on Aug. 1. She said it had been “a dream” of hers. Perkins replaces James Cote, who becomes the association’s director of government affairs and public
policy. Perkins previously worked for contractor H.E. Sargent in Old Town. Associated Builders and Contractors has scores of chapters throughout the United States. Its members include firms in the industrial and commercial sectors of the construction industry.

New Bridge on Schedule for Summer 2013 Opening Plan BRIDGE from page 16
historic and aesthetic character of both towns. Both bridges are owned and maintained by a 50-50 joint responsibility agreement between Maine and New Hampshire DOTs. The bridges have been determined to be structurally deficient by both states, and their continued operation requires increasing maintenance costs of more than $1 million per year for each bridge. Through long study, it was determined that, without improvements, the Memorial Bridge would likely be closed within one to three years. Similarly, without improvements, the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge will likely need to close within seven to 10 years. This timeframe necessitated immediate action by both Maine and New Hampshire DOTs. In 2008, the two states went out to bid for a major rehabilitation of the Memorial Bridge. The final bid costs for this work were 30 percent higher than anticipated. As a result, knowing that the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge also would soon need major rehabilitation, the two states joined in December 2008 to conduct a bi-state planning study to conduct detailed bridge inspections and assess transportation needs for the region through 2035. The study arrived at a plan to achieve goals that included, among others: • Improve local and regional economic growth and stability, tourism and recreational opportunities • Maintain or improve access to Portsmouth and Kittery downtowns and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard • Improve local connections to regional transportation, like the Portsmouth International Airport at Pease. • Minimize long-term costs for transportation • Improve bicycle and pedestrian access across the Piscataqua River • Reduce operational and maintenance costs that sit currently at about $1.1 million per year per bridge • Conserve history and the aesthetic setting and environmental quality of the Piscataqua. 10 Years of Planning According to Robert Landry of NHDOT, the old bridge had just two lanes of traffic, accommodating about 11,000 vehicles and perhaps more than 1,000 bikes and pedestrians crossing daily. NHDOT had to put a 22mile detour in place while this work was being completed. Landry said the new Memorial Bridge has been widened by two feet at each shoulder. The four towering supports for the bridge have been strengthened, he added. Each con-
crete pier shaft is approximately 80 ft. (24 m) high. The overall master plan was visualized nearly 10 years ago, Landry added. Design started back in 2003, Request for Proposal was issued in June 2011 and construction began on Dec. 16, 2011. “Through the RFP process, we had letters of interest from six teams and it was narrowed to four,” said Landry. “Archer Western’s timeframe is ahead of our estimate and the project is on budget.” Landry said that permitting the project under a “compressed time frame, securing TIGER II grant funds and coordinating with MaineDOT, as well as high public involvement and interest, “have been the most challenging aspects of the massive bridge replacement.” He is proud of the accomplishments. “People will see wider sidewalks and bump-outs as requested by the community, and a metalized bridge for better protection in this salt environment,” said Landry. With so many officials involved regionally, Landry wanted to make a special citation for the “effort by HDR Engineering in helping us through the procurement method of design-build in an extremely fast time frame.” Archer Western was just as effusive in its praise of local state agencies. “The NHDOT has been great, led by Commissioner Chris Clement” said DelGrosso. “Bob Landry has also been fantastic; Keith Cota has been a huge help, as well as District Construction Manager Nicki Hunter. The Construction Administrator, Denis Switzer, leads a great team in the field.” Currently, there are crews working on-site six days a week, according to DelGrosso. “The work force will increase dramatically once the structural steel arrives. In the fall, we will be working multiple shifts,” he said. A year away from scheduled completion (Summer 2013), the Senior Project Manager for Archer Western is proud that the $90 million project is on time and on budget, a remarkable feat, given the accelerated design and construction schedule. “It will be open to traffic in summer 2013. To demolish the old structure, design and build a vertical lift bridge in 18 months is an extremely difficult task,” said DelGrosso. “That was one of the big things that made our proposal stand out to NHDOT.” For more information, go to www.memorialbridgeproject.com (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
