Construction Update
Brattleboro-Hinsdale
BF A004(152)
DATE: Friday, January 19, 2024
TRAFFIC IMPACT:
Additional steel deliveries to the Pier 1 site in Vermont are being scheduled with details to follow.
The delivery route will be along New Hampshire and Vermont Route 119 to Depot Street. This impact will include a short duration closure (approximately 10 minutes) of the twin bridges beginning at the intersection of Bridge Street to Canal Street, Main Street, and Vermont Route 142. Uniformed Traffic Officers will be located at the intersection’s entrance to Bridge Street during the closure period. While a time has not been set, all deliveries to Vermont will be off peak hours.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES:
The first of several structural steel deliveries to the Pier 1 site at Barrows and Fisher Oil yard was successfully completed yesterday with traffic stopped on Vermont/New Hampshire Route 119 at 1:36 p.m. and resumed at 1:45 p.m. With the delivery of steel to the project, the contractor will resume advancing steel from Pier 2 to the temporary shoring tower at the Pier 1 site.
The Pier 1 cofferdam corners are currently being reconfigured and re-sealed. Once additional sheet piles have arrived to the project and installed, analysis of the flow rates into the cofferdam can be done as to whether or not additional mitigation efforts will be needed. The contractor and engineering teams will continue to work on solutions to the water containment and control systems at the Pier 1 site.
LOCATION:
The Hinsdale, NH to Brattleboro, VT bridge project will replace the existing twin truss bridges on New Hampshire Route 119 over the Connecticut River with a single, new structure approximately 1800′ long. On the Vermont side, the new structure will begin on Vermont Route 142 – about 1000′ south of the current intersection of VT 142 and NH 119. The new configuration will connect to NH 119 in New Hampshire east of the George’s Field Road/NH 119 intersection.
PROJECTED COMPLETION: Fall 2024.
