Construction Update
Brattleboro-Hinsdale
BF A004(152)
DATE: Thursday, March 21, 2024
TRAFFIC IMPACT:
The contractor’s crews have been accessing the Vermont Abutment off of Vermont Route 142 and will continue to access this location into next week. No traffic impacts are anticipated, but motorists should be advised to watch for vehicles entering and exiting the construction site.
Discussions have begun on when the next steel deliveries to the Pier 1 site in Vermont will be scheduled and details will be provided once available.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES:
Work has continued on the cap for Pier 1 with the rebar being flown into place and tied atop the stem. Form work for the cap will be completed, bearing seats fully constructed, detail work finished, and everything fully adjusted to match plan location and elevation prior to the scheduled concrete placement next Tuesday.
Additional crews may begin work on the drainage installation required in the Barrows and Fisher yard late next week.
Work will continue at the VT Abutment site next week to bring the bearing seats up to elevation.
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.
Unanticipated delays at a couple of the piers have adjusted the project completion date from Fall 2024 to Summer 2025.
PROJECTED COMPLETION: June 30, 2025
