ConnDOT’s I-84 Widening Project Will Make Road Safer, Increase Capacity
ArguS INduStrIAl CO. www.ez-screen.com
866-745-5828
Interstate 84 winds through the city of Waterbury, Conn., with two lanes of traffic in each direction navigating a substandard “S” curve alignment near Harpers Ferry Road. Approximately 125,000 vehicles travel on the 55-year-old highway every day. High traffic volume causes congestion due to lack of roadway capacity and design deficiencies in ramps and weave areas. This segment of I-84 was designed to handle approximately 34,000 vehicles per day, but currently handles more than 105,000 vehicles daily, On March 30, 2015, the Connecticut Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the Federal Highway Association, Lochner, AECOM, Ammann and Whitney, AI Engineers Inc., Comprehensive Environmental Inc. and I-84 Constructors joint venture, launched the I-84 Waterbury Project to widen a 2.7-mi. (4.3 km) segment between
Washington Street and Pierpont Road. Designed to improve safety, operation and highway capacity, the project will add a third lane and full-width shoulders in each direction to improve traffic flow and reduce current and future traffic congestion along the mainline and the local roadways. It also will realign the roadway near Harpers Ferry Road to eliminate the “S” curve, reconfigure interchange ramps and relocate the Mad River and Beaver Pond Brook. Project Details The reconstructed corridor will have 12-ft. (3.6 m) wide shoulders on both sides in each direction of travel and three 12-ft. wide travel lanes. A 10-ft. (3 m) wide concrete barrier section will divide the lanes traveling in different directions. Additionally, a 12-ft. auxiliary lane will be added on I-84 westbound between the on-ramp from Harpers Ferry Road and the off-ramp to Hamilton Avenue.C see I-84 page 4

According to the Wilton Bulletin, the proposed reconstruction includes realigning approximately 1 mi. (1.6 km) of I-84 in the vicinity of Harpers Ferry Road to eliminate the sharp reverse-curve alignment. Approximately 2,000 ft. (609.6 m) of Reidville Drive will be relocated to accommodate this realignment. On the north side of I-84, a new frontage road, referred to as Plank Road East, will be constructed parallel to I-84 between Scott Road and Harpers Ferry Road. Roadway improvements are proposed for several streets. The project includes construction and replacement of eight highway bridges — four of them over water, one pedestrian crossing over the Mad River, seven box culverts and 20 retaining walls. An existing pedestrian access leading to Hamilton Park underpass will be eliminated, but pedestrian access will be maintained along the east bank of the Mad River under the new bridge and a new pedestrian bridge over the Mad River will replace the existing one. As a result of the realignment of I-84 and the reconfiguration of the ramps, portions of seven state and local roads with intersections will be reconstructed. Five existing culverts constructed with corrugated metal pipe will be rehabilitated, using innovative technology in the lining of the deteriorated cross culverts located under highway embankment. Additional improvements include replacing and upgrading traffic signals, new highway illumination, signs and pavement markings and replacing or relocating sanitary sewer, potable water and other public utilities. These traffic enhancements are expected to result in improvements to air quality, noise, aesthetics and the quality of life. Gov. Dannel Malloy claims no corridor is more important than the I-84 corridor and laments lagging economic development because previous administrations haven’t invested sufficiently in the state’s transportation system. Getting to Work Budgeted at $330 million, the project is expected to be complete in June 2020, with incentives in place for August 2019 completion. In the hopes of meeting that deadline, I-84 Constructors JV, the general contractor on the project, has crews working two shifts and occasional Saturdays. Using two Tadano cranes; four Cat bulldozers; 18 Cat, Mack and Volvo triaxles; 10 Cat excavators; five Cat loaders; a Cat paver; five Cat rollers, a Freightliner sweeper and two Ver-Mac message boards, as well as various pickups, light towers, buckets, compactors, compressors, forklifts, generators and hammers, they are moving excavated dirt, asphalt, concrete, concrete pipe, metal pipe, rebar, structural steel, steel piles, retaining walls, temporary precast barriers, box culverts, water main, ductile iron pipe, noise barrier walls, electrical cable, erosion control matting and other materials. Getting Around At the start of the project, in order to reduce a short weave in the highway and to increase safety, Exit 24 westbound offramp was permanently closed. It’s part of the redesign of the corridor. The new design eliminates the close proximity of on- and off-ramps because they impede the flow of traffic. see I-84 page 6

Addition of Third Lane to I-84 Expected to Ease Congestion
Designed to improve safety, operation and highway capacity, the project will add a third lane and full-width shoulders in each direction to improve traffic flow and reduce current and future traffic congestion along the mainline and the local roadways.
The reconstructed corridor will have 12-ft. (3.6 m) wide shoulders on both sides in each direction of travel and three 12-ft. wide travel lanes. I-84 from page 4
As work progresses, several temporary detours will be necessary, particularly during steel removal and installation, overhead sign truss installation and during rock blasting by Maine Drilling and Blasting. However, two lanes of traffic in each direction will be open during peak hours. During construction of a box culvert and
When jacking the new sewer pipe under I-84, rocks and boulders were hit that could not be broken up using the jack/reaction-wall method.
Additional improvements include replacing and upgrading traffic signals, new highway illumination, signs and pavement markings and replacing or relocating sanitary sewer, potable water and other public utilities.
the realignment of the Mad River from April to October 2015, Plank Road was closed at the intersection of Harpers Ferry Road, and traffic was detoured. Once the culvert was completed and Plank Road reopened, a portion of the road it intersects, Harpers Ferry Road, was closed for utility work and retaining wall construction. The new Plank Road over the box culvert is part of the new detour
route from Harpers Ferry Road to East Main Street. Traffic delays due to construction, detours and lane closures for things like rock blasting, bridge demolition and overhead utility work have not only frustrated motorists, but also have hurt local businesses. News 8 WTNH reported last summer that many local businesses were suffering because even
the side roads were too congested for customers to get to them — the very problem the project is expected to eventually alleviate. Area business owners aren’t the only ones upset. Previous work to widen I-84 through Waterbury was plagued with cost overruns, delays and construction defects involving see I-84 page 14

Crews Aim to Improve Safety, Capacity on I-84 Project I-84 from page 6
storm drains that resulted in state and federal officials launching criminal investigations, according to the Boston news. In a report issued by then-Gov. Jodi Rell, two contractors were blamed for failing to properly complete and inspect the project. “However,” she wrote, “the Department of Transportation bears responsibility for completion of the overall project in a satisfactory manner and it is clear to me that a change in the way business is done at the DOT is required. ‘Oversight’ means exactly that — and it is clear that it was absent.” In addition to the drainage issues, the report documents errors in the project design process, improper installation of bridge bearings, defective light poles and payments to the contractor for work that was never done. The report also notes that contract change orders resulted in a $13.4 million, or 26 percent, increase in the total cost of the project. The original contract for the construction was $51.9 million; the change orders boosted that to more than $65 million. Believing that problems relating to DOT business practices, oversight, review, inspection and design procedures and change orders demand action, Gov. Rell instituted sweeping reforms in DOT procedures and contracts. Several DOT employees were fired or reprimanded and the FBI and a federal grand jury launched an investigation. Environmental Issues In order to widen and realign I-84 and to accommodate new bridge crossings, the Mad River, Beaver Pond Brook and a stream and several tributaries have to be realigned or relocated. ConnDOT worked with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection on the realignment and stream bed construction, incorporating features such as vortex weirs, channel structures that create pooling effects for fish, and fish ladders to facilitate their movement up and down stream. The newly realigned Mad River now flows through the box culvert under newly constructed Plank Road. The culvert was constructed using pre-cast concrete sections to form a three-barrel box culvert. Streambed material was arranged inside the culvert, burying the concrete to mimic a natural streambed environment for fish and other wildlife. The design of these relocations has incorporated habitat enhance-
ment measures intended to improve habitat and fish passage potential, integrated with channel structural grade stabilization elements. Sedimentation basins and hydrodynamic separators were installed. The project impacts 7,700 ft. (2,347 m) of watercourses and 1.3 acres of wetlands. Mitigation of impact is accomplished by eliminating obstructions to fish migration and extensive in-stream habitat enhancements. Based on the mitigation strategy and mitigation ratios accepted by the U.S. ACOE, the project will need to provide approximately 1.2 hectares (3 acres) of restored or newly created wetlands. ConnDOT is in the process of investigating wetland creation sites. When jacking the new sewer pipe under I-84, rocks and boulders were hit that could not be broken up using the jack/reaction-wall method. Workers went into the 25-ft. (7.6 m) deep pit, through the 42-in. (107 cm) diameter pipe sleeve, to mechanically break the rock using chipping hammers and rock splitters for most of the 300-ft. (91.44 m) total length of the sleeve. Reaching Out to Soothe Tensions When work began, city and state officials warned that traffic delays would be inevitable, but promised that motorists would gain a wider, safer highway that's less prone to the day-to-day delays they have been experiencing for years. The DOT has said motorists should expect lane closings and occasional detours at least through the fall of 2019. Knowing the situation will get worse before it gets better, commuters brace for five years of what one local resident called “a nightmare.” Meanwhile, the DOT’s Public Information Team is busy working on public outreach to ease tensions. They offered to present informational sessions on the project at local schools and organizations and discuss career opportunities in transportation and the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The DOT also has instituted “public listening sessions” to field feedback from motorists, welcoming ideas to alleviate traffic congestion during the next five years’ of construction.

Work Suspended for Winter on Westport’s North Avenue Bridge The Connecticut Department of Transportation has announced that work on the North Avenue bridge over Route 15 in Westport, will be suspended until April 2016 after the site is prepared for the winter season shutdown. The project began on May 5, 2015 and the North Avenue Bridge was closed to traffic on June 26, 2015. The bridge was opened to alternating one-way traffic on August 26, 2015, to accommodate school bus traffic while work continued on the west-side parapet. Unfortunately, due to numerous accidental strikes by unauthorized oversized vehicles on Route 15, the integrity of the temporary support system was compromised. The temporary support system was removed on Sept. 13, 2015, and a different system with additional clearance will be installed next spring when weather conditions allow for the remaining work to be performed. The contractor will perform work and secure the site for the winter. The project consists of full rehabilitation of the existing bridge structure, including
removal of the western spandrel, concrete patching of the top and under-side of the bridge and full deck replacement. The purpose of the project is to improve the structural deficiencies and preserve the integrity of the bridge. The project was awarded to Blakeslee Arpaia Chapman Inc. of Branford, Conn., on March 12, 2015 at a cost of $2.855 million and is scheduled to be completed approximately August 2016. Lane Closure Information North Ave. — The use of one way alternating traffic will continue to be utilized. The width of the lane will be a minimum of 11 ft. (3.35 m) to accommodate vehicles. The use of traffic controls will be utilized to allow traffic to alternate access across the bridge. The alternating pattern has been in effect since Aug. 26, 2015 and will continue until further notice.
