In the next 14 months, Empire Paving Corp. will be delivering the Connecticut Department of Transportation’s (CTDOT) $28,857,927 Reconstruction of Interchange 33 on Interstate 95 in Stratford project, an initiative that is helping the state address the infrastructure deficit and improve traffic flow by providing motorists with more options. The work, taking place on the southern side of the town of Stratford (Fairfield County), began in June 2020 and is scheduled to be completed on July 5, 2022. The project is financed by the federal (80 percent) and state (20 percent) funds and Empire Paving was awarded the contract on Sept. 3, 2019, which gave the contractor sufficient time to plan the project and assemble equipment and

personnel to execute it. The interstate and interchange were constructed in the 1950s and on a daily basis both carry approximately 142,000 cars and trucks. In addition to reconstruction, the project is adding an Exit 33 off-ramp in the southbound lane direction and an on-ramp in the northbound lane direction to make it a full interchange. There also will be roadwork on Ferry Boulevard and Barnum Avenue Cutoff with minor road configurations and traffic signal work, as well as drainage improvements. “The interchange currently handles on average, 910 vehicles daily on the northbound off-ramp and 680 vehicles daily, on average, on the southbound off-ramp,” said Steven Herbert, CTDOT’s project engineer. “The projected volume for the new northbound on-ramp is 270 [average daily] and see INTERCHANGE page 6

New $100M Project to Bring Transformationto USM Portland There are major changes coming to the University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus, where extensive construction is under way on a $100 million dormitory and student center project. The benefits of this effort are many, such as affordable housing for students at the new 580-bed residence hall, a career and student center with sustainable features such as solar panels and cross-laminated timber, a grassy quad providing a natural gathering place, and new arts and graduate facilities. Construction on the Portland Commons Residence Hall — the first university residence hall on USM’s Portland campus — started in the spring and is expected to be nearly finished by June 2023. Soon, work will commence on the three-story, 42,000sq.-ft. Career & Student Success Center and a one-acre campus quad. “When completed, the three projects will transform USM’s Portland campus and the city’s skyline,” said USM President Glenn Cummings at a virtual groundbreaking in May. By the end of August, the city of Portland expects to near completion on the new Deering’s Corner Roundabout at the intersection of Deering and Brighton avenues and Falmouth Street — a project that planners hope will improve traffic operations and safety, according to CentralMaine.com, a local online network of area newspapers. A portion of the roundabout work may continue through November. Designers for the new Portland Commons dormitory have engineered it to use 50 percent less energy than a normal building built to code. According to the USM, when finished the dorm will be on track to become the second-largest university “passive house” structure in the United States, meaning that the dorm will possess a strict green building standard that prioritizes energy reductions and high indoor air quality. Funding for the $72.8 million residence hall will come from UMaine System revenue bonds, and revenue generated by the residence hall will fund annual debt service payments. The building is expected to alleviate overcrowding in the dorms at the university’s Gorham campus as well as provide affordable housing for students in Portland’s tight housing market, CentralMaine.com reported. The $26.6 million Career & Student Success Center will be funded in part with a $19 million state bond and will be constructed in the space formerly occupied by the Woodbury Campus Center at 25 Bedford St. The new facility will provide space for diversity, equity and inclusion offices. Both the dorm and student center are part

of a master plan approved in 2019 that seeks to create a new “campus heart” around the quad and calls for other building investments, including a new Graduate Center for Professional Studies and Center for the Arts. USM is currently in the planning stages for the new arts center and the graduate center, the latter of which will draw on funding from a $240 million gift made to the UMaine System last fall, according to the CentralMaine.com news source. “I think the work we’re doing will be transformative to the campus,” said Alec Porteous, chief operating officer and chief business officer of USM. “Having residential housing on the campus for the first time in its history will really change it considerably and make it welcoming to our students, who really struggle to find affordable housing. Putting 580 beds on campus is really a game changer for us.” A house at 118 Bedford St. is slated for demolition beginning in July because it needs significant structural repairs and lacks energy efficiency, said Dan Hartill, a USM spokesperson, in an email to CentralMaine.com. Once the building has been removed, the property will be open green space for the time being, he said. It is one of several houses the university occupies on Bedford Street that also includes administrative offices, the student newspa-

per, and a student and community radio station, WMPG. In addition, the university also owns five homes on Chamberlain Avenue, and a sixth nearby on Deering Avenue, all of which are being leased through the nonprofit affordable housing provider Avesta Housing. “The university is highly sensitive to living arrangements and regularly meets with [local] residents,” Hartill noted. He said the university is currently reviewing its options with the Bedford Street corridor and currently has no plans to expand parking into the space where 118 Bedford now exists. Mark LaPointe, president of the Woodfords-Oakdale Neighborhood Association, said residents previously had concerns about a proposal to put additional parking near Falmouth Street, though the university has changed those plans and now expects to enter the permitting process for expanding the existing parking garage into the Wishcamper Center parking lot instead. LaPointe also expressed concerns about traffic in the broader area following construction of the dorm and student center. “It’s going to increase the number of students and with more students there will be more cars,” LaPointe told CentralMaine.com. “That’s always a problem. You like to have a residential neighborhood with people walking and kids playing but all these things are going to increase the

number of cars in the neighborhood.” USM is expecting most of the traffic impact from the student center and dorm to stay focused on Bedford Street and has been working with a traffic consultant through the planning, permitting and construction process. As part of its traffic mitigation efforts, USM has set goals to reduce the number of university-generated trips during the local peak traffic hour by 3 to 6 percent by 2025, and to reduce demand for parking by 10 to 14 percent during the peak hour of demand on campus. The goals are part of a transportation demand management plan, the goals of which include reducing overall trips, demand for parking and greenhouse gas emissions. On Chamberlain Avenue, residents said that despite their concerns about the demolition and future of the university-owned houses, they do see benefits to the dorm and student center project. John Stevens, whose backyard borders 118 Bedford St., told CentralMaine.com, “(I do have) the usual concerns that would go along with that: traffic, late night noise. [But] we were in college in dorms, and I remember how that went. I think there’s that but at the same time they are making the school nicer and what they’re doing is they’re improving it, so that side of it is great.” 

Project Challenge Includes Removing Raymark Waste INTERCHANGE from page 1

450 [average daily] for the southbound off-ramp. The project was needed due to a public desire that a more functional and efficient full diamond interchange be constructed. Prior to construction, there was only a partial interchange, which consisted only of a northbound off-ramp and southbound on-ramp, thereby limiting the basic usefulness and functionality of the interchange. The project was planned over the course of approximately eight years. “The existing condition of I-95 was/is in good shape due to the construction activities from the Moses Wheeler Bridge Projects that CTDOT recently performed,” he added, “however, the condition of the local roads was, and is, in poor shape.” STV and CTDOT designed the project. “The intersections on the local roadways are getting updated, including the installation of modern traffic signal equipment with improved video detection versus less reliable loop detector systems, which will enhance traffic flow and efficiency,” said Herbert. “It is

also addressing the removal of Raymark Waste within the project limits, as well as capping all areas containing asbestos contaminated soils. As part of the project, $4 million is being invested in the construction of new noise barrier walls to help mitigate noise from the interstate. “Projects often present unique circumstances that require special handling,” he added, “This one required the removal of Raymark Waste that contains asbestos and other contaminants and must be removed from the site and disposed of properly. This necessitated coordination with the EPA, CTDEEP, CTDOT Office of Environmental Compliance and the town of Stratford’s Environmental Office. This issue was resolved by removing all Raymark Waste within the project limits and coordinating with the EPA and DEEP to dispose of it in the newly constructed EPA landfill. As for particular challenges, the limits for Raymark Waste removal fell within the southbound I-95 off-ramp construction. The EPA landfill was still under construction at the time, so the

removed material had to be temporarily stored and monitored in the designated Waste Stockpile Area [WSA] until it was disposed of.” The construction of the new offramp utilized all native material from within the project limits. “Since all the soil within the project limits was deemed asbestos contaminated soil [ACS], the goal was to use as much, if not all of the soil to construct the ramp and cap it with clean material to limit the need for off-site disposal,” said Herbert. “Some of the challenges in dealing with the ACS was the need for constant air monitoring to ensure the safety of the workers and the public. Working with ACS meant the soil had to always be moistened to limit any fugitive dust, and on a daily basis any exposed soil at the end of the workday had to be protected. In the case of the latter, Empire Paving chose to cap the native soil with a clean process where possible. Any vertical faces where soil would not stay put were covered with poly, so it was necessary to plan to make sure all work could be protected see INTERCHANGE page 10

Crews are working on one lane at a time to allow for traffic to keep flowing throughout the reconstruction. The drainage improvements are adding more than 60 structures and increasing the size of some discharge pipes from 18 to 24 in., as well as installing a new 30-in. outlet drainage pipe. “We’re ensuring that the drainage system works a lot better,” said Goddard. “Prior to this, it was choked off and had high-value limitations — it could not handle the amount of flow required at some points.” The CTDOT District 3 construction team is assisted by AI Engineers, TRC and Garg Engineering. “We have an excellent working relationship among the various teams and crews,” said Herbert, “and all parties share a common goal of completing the project on time, safely, and within budget.” The Empire team consists of several experienced people. “It’s well integrated, and the crews are very hard working and pulling toward getting the job done,” said Goddard. Peak days have 30-plus Empire Paving and subcontractor workers on site, with the main subcontractors being: Bay Crane Service of Connecticut for bridge work; Davis Tree and Logging for clearing and grubbing; Mystic Air Quality for air monitoring and testing; Star construction for curb and sidewalk; Quaker Corporation for guardrail and noise barrier wall installation; Rizzo Electric for illumination and traffic signal construction; All Seasons Landscaping for plantings; and Garrity Asphalt for milling and safety markings for line striping Demolition and excavation operations are expected to generate 15,000 tons of concrete, 10,300 tons of asphalt, 15 tons of steel, and 680,000 tons of earth and rock. New materials being brought in will include 7,100 tons of concrete, 15,100 tons of asphalt, 450 tons of steel, and 4,600 linear ft. of various sizes of pipe. “We’re not recycling anything on site due real estate restrictions — the site is just too small,” said Goddard. “We’re sending everything off to a recycling yard in Milford and then bringing it back from there. The materials that we excavate are removed from the site the same day. “Hydraulic lines are a constant battle for us, but they are usually quickly resolved,” said Goddard. “We have an in-house service department that does most of our repairs, but they are supported by the dealers that supply parts on a timely basis.” Empire Paving purchases and rents equipment from H.O. Penn in Newington, W.I. Clark in Wallingford and C.N. Wood in North Haven.  CEG
