Work is halted for the winter on a long overdue project to repair 1.3 mi. (2.01 km) of road and sidewalk between the Rhode Island villages of Wakefield and Peace Dale in South Kingstown. Workers will be back on the $6.5 million project in the spring and then move on to a $1 million storm drainage project in the fall. It’s all part of the 10 year, $4.7 billion RhodeWorks program that should change Rhode Island’s reputation from having some of the worst roads and bridges in the nation to some of the best. “There is a lot of focus on our bridges,” said Charles St. Martin, chief public affairs officer for the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT). “We have the worst bridges in the U.S. One out of every five bridges is structurally deficient. It lends us the distinction of being the worst. The program includes pavement projects, see RIDOT page 13

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) released its $10.9 billion five-year Capital Plan — covering fiscal years 2017 to 2021 and including projects in all modes of transportation — highways and bridges, public transportation, facilities and bicycle/pedestrian enhancements. DOT updates the plan annually, detailing spending plans for 2017 and planned investments through 2021. The DOT anticipates utilizing $2.2 billion in total Capital Program funding in federal fiscal year 2017, which began Oct. 1. This amount includes approximately $.9 billion for bus and rail assets and $1.3 billion available for highway and bridge infrastructure. During the 2017 fiscal year, the department anticipates bidding 87 projects at roughly $570 million in contract

value. That compares to 105 new projects in 2016 valued at $475 million. Over the five-year plan, $6.3 billion, or 58 percent is for highway and bridge projects; $4.3 billion, or 40 percent is for public transportation; and $245.8 million, or 2 percent, is for facilities. “The department has leveraged state and federal resources to advance one of our largest construction programs in recent years,” said James Redeker, DOT commissioner. “Investment in transportation is an investment in our economy and creates thousands of jobs in Connecticut.” Along with the Capital Program, the department is see PLAN page 12

RIDOT Seeks Federal Funding for Providence Project The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) submitted a grant application to the U.S. Department of Transportation to fund an enhanced design of the 6/10 Interchange where it intersects with I-95 northbound and the Providence Viaduct northbound. The $226.1 million project will still address the deteriorating Viaduct northbound but adds improved traffic circulation from the 6/10 corridor, provides pedestrian enhancements, and makes 7.3 acres of land available for development. In announcing a redesign of the 6/10 Interchange, RIDOT indicated that it would seek federal discretionary funding for additional improvements to the 6/10 corridor requested by the city of Providence, including a reconfiguration of the Dean Street onramp. RIDOT applied for $59 million from the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects (NSFHP) program for Fostering Advancements in Shipping and Transportation for the Long-term Achievement of National Efficiencies (FASTLANE) funding to rebuild the area of the 6/10 Interchange and the Providence Viaduct northbound bridge. Remaining funds needed for this project will come from RIDOT’s traditional federal and state sources including tolling. “This is a competitive process and I am pleased to support the state’s application. This project has the opportunity to generate jobs and economic development while reducing congestion and improving public safety,” said U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking member of the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee. “Rebuilding our highways and bridges creates jobs, protects drivers and makes Rhode Island a more attractive place

to do business,” said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who worked to include the NSFHP in the transportation authorization bill that passed last year. “Rebuilding this interchange is an enormously important project for our state and I will continue to fight for every federal dollar possible to get it done. We’ve had success with the 95 Viaduct north and south bound and the Apponaug Circulator and we hope for similar success under this program.” “Rhode Islanders deserve safe roads and bridges, and this project would secure one of our state’s key interchanges,” said Congressman David Cicilline. “It would help us reconnect Providence’s historic neighborhoods and provide sound footing for economic development in a critical part of our state. I am a strong supporter of this application, and I urge the U.S. Department of Transportation to give it a full and fair review.” Peter Alviti, RIDOT director, said, “We want these funds to implement further design improvements to the 6/10 corridor which incorporates the Viaduct northbound. Our primary goal, of course, is safety and to restore the Viaduct to a state of good repair while addressing traffic congestion and connecting neighborhoods.” “This is yet another opportunity to improve the 6/10 corridor and build upon our efforts to reconnect our neighborhoods,” said Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza. “We hope to invest in forward-thinking transportation infrastructure while at the same time increasing safety and improving access to Rhode Island’s capital city.” The Viaduct carries I-95 through the heart of Providence between the major interchanges with U.S. Route 6/State

Route 10 and State Route 146. It has the third highest volume of traffic in New England. The Providence Viaduct is more than 50 years old and was designed to handle a volume of 57,000 vehicles daily. It now carries 220,000 vehicles daily. There are six bridges in this interchange and four are structurally deficient. One is fracture critical. As part of this project RIDOT will rebuild the interchange and improve the system of ramps, which will eliminate a major bottleneck and vastly improve the efficient movement of people and goods through the region. RIDOT’s traffic models estimate that if the bottleneck is not addressed, by 2035 a typical afternoon rush hour trip from Reservoir Avenue to Branch Avenue will take 35 minutes. With the new design, that travel time would be reduced more than 80 percent, taking only six minutes to complete. RIDOT will use grant funds to make modifications to the Dean Street interchange to reduce congestion and improve safety. The modifications will eliminate the weave movement just prior to the existing Viaduct interchange, where vehicles accessing Route 6/10 eastbound from the Dean Street on-ramp (and destined for I-95 northbound) pose conflicts with through traffic. Finally, the project will include pedestrian improvements. A decision on the FASTLANE grant application is expected in early 2017. For more information, visit www.dot.ri.gov.

VTrans Moves Closer to Middlebury Bridge, Rail Project The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), in collaboration with the Town of Middlebury, is undertaking a project to replace two nearly 100-year-old rail bridges in the center of Middlebury with a tunnel. The two bridges are about 300 ft. (91.4 m) apart, with one located on Main Street/VT 30 and the other on Merchants Row. For more than 25 years VTrans bridge inspection reports have documented the ongoing deterioration of both bridges. Concrete cracking, delamination and spalling have occurred on all bridge components. Embedded steel reinforcement is rusting and is now exposed. There is leakage through the deck and full depth holes on the Merchants Row sidewalk have needed to be patched. The condition of the bridges limits how VTrans can respond to safety concerns. The height of the bridges is too low to install wire mesh safety nets to catch concrete from falling onto the tracks and passing trains. Concrete patching is only a short-term solution to addressing this problem. The deterioration of the fascias has compromised the support posts for the sidewalk-mounted railings. Some of these bases are cracked or rusted through. Chain link fencing was added to the railings on Merchants Row to improve safety conditions but do not meet current design standards. The 360-ft. (109.7 m) tunnel that will replace the Main Street and Merchants Row bridges will address several deficiencies now facing the railroad. Currently, the bridges do not have enough vertical clearance for double-stack rail cars. By lowering the rail bed approximately four feet, clearance can be increased to 21 ft. (6.4 m) without impacting the grade of the road and sidewalks above. The tunnel also will enable the alignment of the rail to change, softening the curve that currently exists, allowing better horizontal clearance for trains. Drainage improvements and covering the track will reduce the risk of icing problems that have been severe in some winters as well as ponding that occurs. Many considerations have gone into planning and designing the project. The design team has had to balance community needs and character, local and regional mobility, construction feasibility — all while keeping the rail line active, except during the 10week closure period, as communities along the line depend on rail for deliveries of various commodities. Among the items the project team has focused on are: • Placing utilities in the Printer’s Alley underground so that they do not interfere with the crane needed to construct the tunnel; • acquiring right-of-way, both temporary

activities that may produce vibrations; • monitoring noise during construction; • designing the project to mitigate risk from the 100-year flood level of Otter Creek; • supporting a design that considers community character and aesthetics; • creating a safe working environment for

workers, motorists, and the community; • scheduling a construction sequence to minimize community disruption; and • developing a communication and outreach program to identify and respond to community concerns. Before proceeding with construction, VTrans will conduct an environmental assessment in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. Replacing the rail bridges with a tunnel received broad support at public meetings and was endorsed by the Middlebury Town Selectboard. The tunnel will change the town landscape by overlaying the depressed, walled rail bed that cuts through the town with green space that will link Triangle Park with the Village Green.

MaineDOT, Community Prep for Bar Harbor Route 3 Project Working with the Bar Harbor community, MaineDOT began preparations for the reconstruction and improvement of Route 3 in 2011. Engaging with residents and business owners through a planning committee that included representatives of Acadia National Park, a vision statement for the project was developed: “To provide a safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing transportation corridor that encourages multiple uses and maintains or enhances the historic standards representative of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.” The group recommended “two 11-ft. (3.4 m) travel ways with 4 ft. (1.2 m) to 5 ft. (1.5 m) paved shoulders,” enhancements to pedestrian and bike safety by providing sidewalks and a multi-use path throughout the project with esplanades where possible plus updates to drainage and utilities. The project spans 4.8 mi. (7.7 km) of Route 3/Bar Harbor Road, starting near Robbins Motel south to the intersection of Route 3/Eden Street and Route 233. Work began in late 2016 and will continue through spring 2019. The reconstruction and rehabilitation of Route 3 starts 0.57 mi. (.9 km) west of Sand Point Road and extends easterly 4.8 mi. to Route 233. Work includes sidewalks, a multi-use path, paved shoulders and several bus turnouts. Construction will continue until the spring of 2019 without a break during summer/fall tourist seasons. Continuous one-way loop detours have been designed to keep traffic flowing and to expedite the work. Detours will occur during certain phases of the project, as work progresses south towards Bar Harbor. Detour routes will include Crooked Road and Paradise Hill Road. Additionally, Route

233/Eagle Lake Road and Route 3/198 to Route 102 will be established as an alternate route and truck route. Ample signage will inform and guide drivers. In anticipation of the Route 3 project detours, MaineDOT completed improvement of Route 233/Eagle Lake Road and will construct a turning traffic storage lane for Bar Harbor-bound traffic turning from Route 102 (Somesville). The Bar Harbor Route 3 Project is estimated at $17.9 million. MaineDOT awarded the construction contract through a competitive bid process to Sargent Corporation based in Stillwater, Maine. In addition, utility companies are making improvements along the project route concurrent to clearing and drainage improvements. When complete, the project will result in: • paved shoulders for bicyclists and pedestrians • new sidewalks and sidewalk improvements to meet ADA standards • safer crossings with electronic crossing signs • a new multi-use path along part of the project span • where possible, a 3-ft. (.9 m) wide esplanade between sidewalk/multi-use path and the road • new rock catchment area along the bluffs • upgrade of intersection at Mt Desert Street and West Street. • improved drainage and runoff management • new road surface and striping All construction work is weather dependent so schedules may change • December 2016 through April 2017 — Utility work will occur along the full length of the project, along with clearing and

drainage work. Throughout this period, Route 3 will remain open in both directions. • April/May 2017 through Summer/Fall to Late 2017/Early 2018 — Construction will begin at the north end of the project, 0.57 mi. south of Sand Point Road and will proceed southward to Crooked Road. Throughout this period, two-way traffic will be maintained on Route 3 except for periods when traffic in one direction will be detoured to Crooked Road (Detour 1). • Late 2017 through 2018, to Project Completion in Spring 2019 — Construction will progress south of Crooked Road into Bar Harbor, to the end-point at the intersection of Routes 3 and 233. Throughout this period, two-way traffic will be maintained on Route 3 except for periods when traffic in one direction will be detoured to Paradise Hill Road (Detour 2). At no point will both detours be used simultaneously. Schedules are dependent on weather and other factors, and will be updated as work progresses. Preparations for The Bar Harbor Route 3 Project have included: • Community engagement and input through a Context Sensitive Solutions Committee, with final recommendations provided to MaineDOT in May 2011; • A cooperative agreement signed with MaineDOT and the town of Bar Harbor in April 2012; • Project design from early 2013 through 2016; • Meetings, including MaineDOT with Advisory Committee, public meetings, and landowner/business owner meetings; and • Advance planning of detour routes, with upgrades/improvements to Eagle Lake Road and the Intersection of Route 102 Eagle Lake Road. A key part of planning for the Bar Harbor

Route 3 Project has been to minimize traffic impacts and to provide alternate routes so that travel to and from Bar Harbor and neighboring communities continues with little or only minor disruption. Accordingly: • Lane closures with alternating one-way traffic will occur only from Nov. 1 to May 1. • At all other times, two-way traffic must be maintained on Route 3, or a continuous one-way loop detour must be used. Drivers can expect the following: • To relieve traffic volume through the project work zones, Route 102/Eagle Lake Road will be established as an alternate route/truck route While work is being done from just south of Sand Point Road southward to Crooked Road, a continuous oneway loop detour will be implemented when necessary on Crooked Road. • While work is being done on the section of Route 3/Eden Street between Paradise Hill Road southward to the intersection with Route 233, a continuous one-way loop detour will be implemented when necessary on Paradise Hill Road. Throughout the project, drivers will be informed and guided by ample signage, and aided by the installation of temporary traffic control signals at key points. Drivers should plan ahead and allow extra time to travel through the alternate route or through the designated one-way detours. As always, MaineDOT asks drivers to please drive safely, and to slow down when passing through work zones. For more information, visit http://maine.gov/mdot/projects/barharbor/rt 3/.

Connecticut Releases Plan for Fiscal Years 2017 to 2021 PLAN from page 1

releasing a report entitled, “Transportation Capital Infrastructure Program, Annual Capital Plan Report, January 2017.” The report reviews the performance of the DOT in delivering capital investments. The goal,

Redeker noted, is to optimize the capital funding for all its transportation modes and to improve continuously its ability to deliver maximum infrastructure improvements for each dollar expended. The department is achieving this by delivering projects on time

and on or under budget. Continuously improving project delivery and using innovative construction techniques also have increased the DOT’s capacity to provide the state with higher quality transportation improvements that maximize the state’s

return on its investment. For more information, visit www.ct.gov. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Storm Drainage, Road Repairs Part of $6.5M RIDOT Project RIDOT from page 1

transit, ADA, bicycle facilities, you name it. The point is to bring roads and bridges back to a state of good repair.” RhodeWorks includes the new organization of the agency departments, which previously did not have project managers, a new management philosophy and an overall new way of doing business, St. Martin said. It also features a new funding plan, which includes a tolling system for trucks only. Rhode Island is one of the only states in the northeast United States that does not charge user fees for large commercial trucks, St. Martin said. “That will provide 10 percent of the RhodeWorks program. By giving us a boost in funding, we can accelerate the repairs. In accelerating our plan, we will address bridges that are not just the worst, but also address things we can see in the lifecycle that are about to enter that stage. It will not always be worst first, which is what we used to do around here. When we tackle a bridge, we might paint the beams, do concrete work, repair the bridge joints. Those types of projects. We’ve run the numbers, this approach will save $950 million over 10 years. We are repairing items before they reach a state in much greater disrepair. “High Street is different. The road has always had very poor drainage and flooding issues. The roadway basically needed reconstruction. It had not been rebuilt since the ‘30s. That constant presence of flooding really degradated the surface. The riding surface was exceptionally poor. In the winter of 2014-15 here we had double the normal amount of snowfall. Because of our position on the coast here, we get a lot of freeze/thaw cycles. Multiple snowfalls, freezing rain and two weeks later it is 50 degrees. Following that winter, this road really fell apart. We actually had to spend an emergency contract of $81,000 just to prepare the road so it was serviceable just until we could get the project going. At this point everything has to be replaced. The $81,000 was a basically a throw away. A Band-Aid.”

In the fall, crews will begin work to replace very old drainage pipes with an entirely new drainage system. Work on Kingstown Road/High Street work started last summer and includes detours while maintaining important access to schools, the fire department and other facilities on the main route of travel.

Work is halted for the winter on a long overdue project to repair 1.3 mi. (2.01 km) of road and sidewalk between the Rhode Island villages of Wakefield and Peace Dale in South Kingstown.

Workers will be back on the $6.5 million project in the spring and then move on to a $1 million storm drainage project in the fall.

Under project manager David Capalbo, work on Kingstown Road/High Street work started last summer. It includes detours while maintaining important access to schools, the fire department and other facilities on the main route of travel. “Everyone is greatly assisting,” said Capalbo. “They are excited about completion next year.” Equipment on the two-lane highway and sidewalks includes various loaders, backhoes, pavers, concrete trucks and sweepers.

“It’s pretty typical for a resurface. We found a large area of rock that was unexpected, mostly large boulders. Other than that, the project remains on time on budget moving right along.” In the fall, crews will begin work to replace very old drainage pipes with an entirely new drainage system. “What is unique about this project is the drainage work,” St. Martin said. “This is a developed corridor with homes and businesses. As we try to update the

drainage, and meet the requirements for run off, we need to create different fixes. We don’t have the physical space to address them. So we worked close with the Department of Environmental Management on the storm water project. We’re taking it a step higher. There are three areas that will be doing storm water projects that will accept runoff from this road and other roads in this area. The Saugatucket River runs through the villages, empties into a saltwater estuary and into the ocean. Those three storm water

facilities are actually going to be on town property, but we will build them. They will have retention ponds with infiltration features. “We’re investing over $100 million in drainage projects over the next 10 years. That’s part of our commitment to address our storm water runoff and impact on the environment.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Bandit Industries Expands Bobcat of Connecticut Territory Bandit Industries has expanded the territory for Bobcat of Connecticut, the company’s authorized dealer of Bandit small equipment sales, parts and service. Bobcat of Connecticut now serves Bandit customers throughout Connecticut and western Massachusetts. Bobcat of Connecticut has been in business for more than 25 years and joined the Bandit dealership network in 2015, bringing decades of combined experience to the Bandit brand. Bandit’s former dealership for the area, Massachusetts-based Tyler Equipment Corporation, is exiting the tree care market. Bandit Industries and Tyler Equipment Corporation enjoyed a partnership of more than 25 years. The companies are parting ways on amiable terms. “The professionals at Tyler Equipment have been exceptional brand ambassadors for Bandit,” said Bandit Industries President Jerry Morey. “We shared a strong business relationship and a strong friend-

ship, and that friendship endures. We thank them for their devoted service and wish them nothing but the best for the future.” Bobcat of Connecticut specializes in Bandit hand-fed chippers and stump grinders and will serve Bandit customers from four locations: Bobcat of Connecticut in Hartford, Bobcat of Stratford in Stratford, Bobcat of Greater Springfield and Bobcat of Rhode Island in Warwick. “Bobcat of Connecticut is already a wellestablished Bandit dealer; they share our passion and pride for the Bandit brand,” said Morey. “We are confident that Bandit customers throughout the region will continue to receive the exceptional service they’ve come to expect.” For more information, visit www.banditchippers.com.

W. I. Clark Relocates Parts Center From Brookfield to Danbury The W.I. Clark Company has moved its western Connecticut parts center from Brookfield to Danbury.

An expansive showroom and a larger parts warehouse will provide customers with increased support for the products W.I. Clark represents. These include John Deere, Hitachi, LeeBoy and others. “We realize having a location in western part of the state has been important to our customers ever since we opened ours in 1995”, said Doug Hansen, president of W.I. Clark. “We believe it sets us apart from some of our competitors. Our new Danbury loca-

tion will continue to provide the parts service our customers expect from us.” In addition to having access to parts for all the lines W.I. Clark sells, the Danbury location offers hydraulic hose fabrication. W.I. Clark has been in business since 1925. Headquartered in Wallingford, the company also operates a full service store in Plainfield. These three locations in Connecticut allow the company to service the entire state of Connecticut for John Deere Construction and Forestry Equipment, Hitachi, LeeBoy. It also represents Wirtgen in all counties except Fairfield.
