CEG CORRESPONDENT
The Rhode Island Department of Transportation has learned its lesson about making sure bridges are done on time and done right. Four years ago, commuters driving across the East Bay of Rhode Island through Barrington and adjacent Warren, R.I., celebrated the opening of two new bridges, which were — through delays and defaults from the original contractor — 15 years in the making. At the time, the two original bridges along the critical north-south commute along heavily-traveled route 114, spanning both the Warren and Barrington Rivers, had been shut-off from traffic since 1997. Temporary bridges were constructed, but were only supposed to be in place four years, the duration of the contract. Yet, nearly 10 years later, the bridges were still being used. With a financial rift exposed with the original general contractors and a new contractor put in place to finish the job, it wasn’t until 2009 that the new Warren and Barrington Bridges were finished and open to traffic. The Rhode Island Department of see CHurCH page 4

Your reputation needs to include a knowledge of the construction of these bogs, honest fair pricing and on time completion. We take a lot of pride in our work and as a result our business has grown nicely.” The creation of cranberry bogs produces a large amount of excess material, which Ryco then processes and sells. “We use our wheel loaders primarily to load our trucks and to see rYCO page 6

RIDOT Considers Environment During Preparation WHITE CHURCH from page 1
Transportation (RIDOT) remembers the delays of those spans and vows never to repeat them. “This bridge project is not like the other bridge projects in Barrington,” said Michael Swift, project manager of RIDOT. “We will get in and get on, be on schedule and on budget with this White Church Bridge.” Ahead of Schedule Already The Central, or White Church Bridge project abuts route 114 along Massasoit Avenue, across another, more northerly section of the Barrington River, which parallels the highway from the larger Narragansett Bay. This highway runs through Warren and Barrington into East Providence. The river flows into Hundred Acre Cove, a pristine environmental haven, fishing and kayaking area. Built in 1940, the bridge has surpassed its design life and is showing “signs of aggressive deterioration.” This has caused RIDOT to restrict the weight limit to 15 tons, adversely affecting vehicle traffic in the area. The replacement is under way through a $15 million contract with the Cardi Corporation of Providence. The groundbreaking took place in September for the rapid assembly of two temporary spans on both the north and south sides of the present bridge, which will keep traffic open during brief construction period planned over the next three years. In addition to time constraints, RIDOT crews must work around protected wildlife and deal with heavy traffic, including dozens of daily school bus crossings. “From environmental concerns to utilities, there are many factors that had to be taken into consideration as we

prepared for this project. The work is being phased in over several years so we can take care of these issues while limiting closures on Massasoit Avenue throughout the life of this project,” said Rosemarie Amoros, chief public affairs officer of RIDOT. Work is scheduled in phases over the next several years. • Phase one involves demolishing portions of the existing structure and roadway approaches through June 2014. No in-water construction work will take place from February to June to protect the migratory marine species in Hundred Acre Cove. • Phase two involves the construction of the north side of the new bridge. The existing gas and water lines and overhead utilities will be relocated. The northern half of the bridge is scheduled to open by August 2015. • Phases three and four involve the demolition and reconstruction of the southern half of the bridge. The goal is to have the new bridge fully open to traffic by October 2016. • The final phase involves wetland work along the bridge, Riverview Drive and Virginia Drive. Crews will complete paving and striping work, and a hydrographic survey to determine the construction impact to the river. This portion of the project is scheduled to wrap up by May 2017. “We have worked closely with the town throughout this process to make sure that all concerns were addressed,” said Amoros. “Specifically, we arranged a schedule that allowed the bridge to stay open throughout construction, raised the vertical clearance by two feet, and increased the width of the sidewalks and roadway to accommodate vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and fishermen.”

MassDOT has launched the latest and last of Gov. Deval Patrick’s five mega bridge projects, the removal of the viaduct and bridge spaghetti ramps that twist and turn off the Braga Bridge, just under the downtown center of Fall River, Mass.
MassDOT Launches Last of Five Mega-Bridge Projects By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT
Pardon the pun, but the nine spaghetti ramps have pasta their prime and effectiveness. MassDOT has launched the latest and last of Gov. Deval Patrick’s five mega bridge projects, the removal of the viaduct and bridge spaghetti ramps that twist and turn off the Braga Bridge, just under the downtown center of Fall River, Mass. More than 100 people in the Fall River area attended the DOT public hearing detailing the project on Sept. 24. General construction on the estimated $197 million project began in October. From Ramps to Roads Officially called the Route 79/Braga Bridge improvement project, but nicknamed the spaghetti ramp removal project, the three-year job is one of the five largest projects of the Gov. Patrick administration’s Accelerated Bridge Program, an 8-year, twoterm, $3 billion effort to reduce the number of structurally deficient bridges in Massachusetts. MassDOT said that safety, access and aesthetics near the City Pier area of Fall River will be
improved when the the Route 79 viaduct, an archaic and twisting 1960s bi-level structure of rusted steel in serious disrepair, is removed and replaced with a new surface roadway that combines Route 79 and Davol Street, a critical artery leading into the center of the city. In addition, the nine spaghetti ramps connecting Route 79 and Interstate 195 will be rebuilt and two new roadways, The Water Street Connector and Milliken Connector, will improve local connections to the waterfront, which sees thousands of visitors to the five U.S. Naval warships that fill Fall River’s famous Battleship Cove. Pedestrian and bicycle safety will be enhanced along Interstate 195, through the addition of three signalized intersections on Route 79, wider sidewalks, bike lanes and a shared-use path. According to MassDOT press secretary Sara Lavoie, Milliken Boulevard is under construction to better accommodate traffic during the interchange improvement project. General project construction accelerates through the fall of 2013 and full beneficial use of Route 79 and the Interstate 195 ramps is set for completion in fall 2016. Work on the Braga Bridge —
Three areas within the Route 79/Interstate195 interchange currently exhibit vehicular safety issues partly as a result of substandard roadway geometry.
the third-of-a-mile bridge that connects Fall River with Somerset, Mass., spanning the Taunton River — will include necessary structural steel repairs, cleaning and painting. The ramps start at the eastern end of this bridge, and the job, which will improve the bridge’s structural integrity and appearance, is set for completion in the summer of 2016. Lanes are currently reduced on the Braga to allow for bridgework.
Major Joint Venture On June 19, the MassDOT board of directors approved the award of a $197 million design/build contract to Barletta Heavy Industries and O&G Industries in a Joint Venture to complete the Route 79/Braga Bridge Project. Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc. (VHB) leads the design team. Founded in 1914, Barletta is celebrating its 100-year anniversary
with this impressive mega project. The Barletta series of companies, headquartered in Canton, Mass., is in its 4th generation of family ownership and management. Barletta Heavy Division Inc. constructs roads, highways, bridges, airports, tunnels, public transportation projects, railroad, light rail tracks, landscaping, environmental remediation, site work and utility outlets. Its sister company, Barletta Engineering Corp., constructs water and sewage treatment facilities; gas-fired and renewable energy power plants; green roofs; and commercial buildings. With about 90 people on staff, Barletta also uses more than 300 pieces of equipment. With a century-long reputation for safely completing projects to specification, Barletta is famed for meeting time and budget constraints, according to the company. Barletta’s joint venture partner, O&G Industries, is a privatelyowned company in its third generation of family management. Headquartered in Torrington, Conn., O&G is celebrating its 90th anniversary with the Route 79 project. According to its Web site, the firm has grown to become one see MASSDOT page 10

Design/Build Enables Crews to Begin on Critical Elements MASSDOT from page 8
of the largest and most diversified construction materials and services companies in the Northeast. O&G’s services include building construction (construction management, design/build, general contracting and program management); heavy civil construction (roads, bridges, water and waste treatment facilities and power plants); and construction materials (process gravel/stone, concrete, asphalt, masonry and architectural stone). O&G has a professional staff of more than 200, and more than 1000 employees. According to MassDOT, the interchange improvement is a design/build project, which means that final design elements will be completed in packages that will be released for construction as they are reviewed and approved. Design/build allows construction to begin almost immediately on critical elements of the project. MassDOT will schedule periodic public meetings prior to major construction milestones and traffic pattern shifts. Lavoie said that MassDOT will be especially sensitive to the importance of minimizing construction impact and maintaining access to the waterfront area for residents, businesses and visitors to Fall River. Access to key waterfront area businesses and key attractions will be maintained at all times, including Battleship Cove, Heritage State Park, Gates of the City and Community Boating. The design/build team will work with the town of Somerset to minimize impacts related to the Braga Bridge repairs over the Taunton River. Spaghetti Circles the Water Three areas within the Route 79/Interstate 195 interchange currently exhibit vehicular safety issues partly as a result of substandard roadway geometry, said Lavoie. Two areas are weave sections and one is a merge junction. The project will make changes to improve these areas and address traffic safety problems. In addition, time has taken a toll on the viaduct and ramps, which include 111 spans stretching 8,700 ft (2,651.8 m). Currently, 11 small-

er bridges within the interchange are structurally deficient and need rehabilitation. The project removes the old Route 79 viaduct, and replaces it with a new surface roadway that combines Route 79 and Davol Street. The Route 79 viaduct and ramps were built in 1965 as part of construction of the interchange with Route 195 “The nine spaghetti ramps connecting Route 79 and Interstate 195 will be rebuilt and two new roadways [Water Street Connector and Milliken Connector] will improve local connections,” said Lavoie. Most of the ramps connecting Route 79 to Interstate 195, Route 138 and local streets will be replaced in more or less the same location, according to Lavoie, so the proposed project will not open land for development. The proposed project design evolved from a task force convened by MassDOT comprised of local and regional stakeholders to examine alternatives to address the interchange deficiencies, including removing the viaduct. After studying more than 12 conceptual alternatives, MassDOT determined that one alternative best addresses the project’s purpose and need, while incorporating community interests to the greatest extent possible: Removing elevated Route 79 south of Cedar Street and replacing it

Alternative routes to the regional roadway system will be identified to minimize traffic through the interchange. The construction sequence of various elements of the project, as well as some temporary ramp connections, will allow traffic to be shifted so that the viaduct can be removed.” Lavoie said that minor amounts of private property right-of-way
takings and or easements will be needed to build structures such as retaining walls. “A portion of the Southern Union Company property at the rear of Anawan Street will be taken to build the Water Street Connector. Two complete takings will be required, but these are small vacant or undeveloped parcels [of land],” said Lavoie. Building materials in the connector job will include precast concrete, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls and structural steel. The condition of the infrastructure, and the opportunity to improve multimodal access and enhance economic development, made the Route 79/Braga Bridge Improvements Project an excellent candidate for the state’s

New Vt. Construction Recycling Center Set to Create Jobs COLCHESTER, Vt. (AP) Vermont construction contractors and do-it-yourselfers are going to be getting a new way to dispose of their construction debris. On Oct. 30 officials inaugurated Vermont's first mixed construction and demolition materials recycling center in Colchester. The Myers Recycling Center will accept mixed loads of construction and demolition debris, sort out what is recyclable and reusable, and send a much smaller amount of material to landfills. Owner Jeff Myers said that currently much good material ends up in landfills. The center will reduce the amount of debris sent to landfills and create jobs. Some of the items that will be accepted at the center include asphalt shingles, clean lumber, concrete, and scrap metal.

Barrington Officials Take an Active Role With Designs CHURCH from page 4
Swift reiterated that existing traffic lanes will be kept open while the curb demolitions and the tie-ins to the temporary spans are made, bolstered by the support sheeting placed during Phase one of the project. He said that like other infamous Barrington bridges, this will be completed the same way — temporary spans to keep critical traffic flowing will be used, and torn down when the new bridge is finished. However, unlike those projects, RIDOT and general contractor Cardi Corp. have put strict deadlines into place with incentives and goals that DOT is demanding be met on time and on budget. “The other Barrington bridges took a long time in construction, 14 years for the entire project,” said Swift. “Those temporary bridges were up for almost ten years. But not so, on this project. Cardi is already doing an excellent job. They submitted a lot of preapproval work. We have a February 1st critical deadline to get all the sheeting into place so that we do not get behind. The moldings have to be done by February 1.” The original bridge is 24 ft. (7.3 m) wide with two 12-ft. (3.7 m) travel lanes. The new bridge will have three 11-ft. (3.4 m) wide travel lanes when completed, with two 5-ft. (1.5 m) shoulders and two 5.5-ft. (1.7 m) wide sidewalks, according to Swift. The roadway meeting the bridges will be expanded from 24 ft. (7.3 m) to 43 ft. (13.1 m) wide. There will be two travel lanes heading to the suburban area of homes called Hampden Meadows from Rte. 114 and one heading to Rte. 114, away from that area. Currently, in the demolition phase, six to eight crew members are working shifts from about 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Swift said, during the sheeting phase, eight to 10 men will be working daily, and from eight to 12 people will be driving the sheeting at any one time to meet the first critical state deadline. “The pile driving crew is a fluid situation,” said Swift. “We will vary the number of men per phase. The piles are circular steel piles filled with concrete, driven directly into the piles. There are no coffer dams in place.” There are numerous sub-contractors in place, including: • Demolition sub — The Demolition Company (TDC), headquartered out of North Carolina, with offices in Boston • Sheeting and pile sub — M.I.G. Construction of Acton, Mass. • Landscaping sub — M.O.N. of North Dartmouth, Mass. (including hay bales and
sediment control) • Construction formwork sub — Algar of Brockton, Mass. Wetland Mitigation The new bridge will be located slightly north of the old bridge. “We are taking some wetlands from the area, mitigating some wetlands,” said Swift. “We will be compensating for that in the southwest corner with new wetland plantings. The two adjoining roads, Virginia Drive and Riverside Drive, contain much of the mitigated areas. There has to be asphalt removal and retention areas with plantings to compensate what we are taking.” Rare diamond terrapins breed along this river, and the estuary and cove are filled with unusual birds like great blue herron, egrets and piping plovers and vital species of fish, including migrating bait fish (American chad, pogies, anchovies, etc.), the striped bass, blue fish, flounder, blackfish, monk fish, eels and many other species which feed on them. Swift said that officials in Barrington were very involved with the design process and plans to protect everything along the way until the project’s completion in 2017. “There were many changes in the plans, with the town keeping the bridge open during the process, they wanted that; changing the width of the bridge, etc. We had a good relationship and are working closely with officials throughout the entire process,” Swift said. The first month went extremely well, according to Swift. “There is always traffic back-up on this bridge every morning, but it doesn’t seem to be any worse since the work began,” said Swift. The route is especially well-traveled by school buses, going to and from Barrington High School, which stands directly across the street at the intersection of Rte. 114 and Massasoit Avenue. “We have kept the schools and the bus company in the loop. They know our complete closure and road shifting schedule. We have had no complaints to this juncture from the schools or the buses or the families whose children are on them.” Swift said that for this town of only 19,000 people, “This bridge will be done on time.” For more information, visit to www.dot.ri.gov.
