Construction Update
Brattleboro-Hinsdale
BF A004(152)
DATE: Thursday, February 1, 2024
TRAFFIC IMPACT:
Additional steel deliveries to the Pier 1 site in Vermont will be scheduled at a later date. Details will follow once available.
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:
All 5 of the steel girders are in place on the temporary shoring tower now, awaiting Pier 1 construction.
The Pier 1 cofferdam de-watering operation has resumed with some promising results so far and the contractor anticipates finally being able to advance operations at the site. They will begin establishing footing elevations and cutting off the piles to grade the rest of this week. Next week, the contractor anticipates installing rebar into the piles with concrete in short order after that. Footing form and rebar work is anticipated in the coming weeks as well.
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.
