By Irwin rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT The Connecticut Department of Transportation’s (CTDOT) $34.8 million project to replace the Route 8/25 bridges in Bridgeport has exceeded the half-way point as crews from Manafort Brothers Incorporated are working hard to meet the September delivery date. The four bridges being rehabilitated carry an average of 88,000 cars over Capital Avenue, Lindley Street and a large parking lot. The Lindley Street Bridge consists of seven, 82 ft. (25 m) long spans with four 12-ft. (3.6 m) lanes and two shoulders in each direction. The project will reduce the bridge to two spans while keeping the same lane and shoul- der capacity. The Capital Avenue Bridge, consisting of a single span with four 12-ft. lanes and two shoulders in each direction will be replaced with a similar structure. The work also includes the construction of a large retaining wall to support 425 ft. (130 m) of new highway, the rehabilitation of the metal bin-wall retaining wall which is currently supporting Route 8 southbound, south of Capital Avenue and capacity improvements to two intersections on Lindley Street adja- cent to Route 8 northbound. The bridges will be demolished and rebuilt in a different configuration using accelerated bridge construction tech- niques. The new superstructures will consist of prefabricated bridge units (PBUs), which consists of two steel beams fab- ricated with an integral concrete deck to form a double tee section. The PBUs will be connected in the field with narrow longitudinal closure pours.

The Lindley Street Bridges will be reduced to two spanseach by filling in five of the seven spans on each bridge. Thepier to the north of the second span will be converted to anabutment by constructing a retaining wall behind the exist-ing pier. The substructures to the north of the final two spanstructures will be left in place and buried. The area under thespans to be removed will be filled. The fill will be retainedby concrete retaining walls built outboard of the existingbridge limits.
Federal highway funds cover 85 percent of the cost, withthe remaining 15 percent from the state. The existingbridges, nearly 2 mi. (3.2 km) north of Interstate 95, werebuilt in 1973 and according to CTDOT, have reached the“excessive deterioration” point and cannot be repaired.
“The bridges are part of CTDOT’s bridge program whichprioritizes work based on a continuous assessment of theremaining useful life of bridges and their need to be replacedor rehabilitated,” stated the project Web site. “CTDOT hasdetermined that the bridges involved are reaching the end oftheir useful life and warrant rehabilitation.”
“The existing precast concrete beams supporting the road-way are experiencing what is called an Alkali-SilicaReaction, where, due to a chemical reaction within the con-crete, the concrete literally self-destructs,” said Scott Adkins,project engineer of CTDOT. “While the bridges are current-ly structurally safe, there is no way to repair the beams, andtherefore the entire superstructure must be replaced. In the1970s, ASR was a common problem. Fortunately, advancesin concrete construction have significantly reduced theoccurrence of ASR.
“Lane closure and stage construction peri-ods that would impact the travel lanes onRoute 8/25 have been reduced from twoyears to two periods of approximately 14days each,” said Adkins. “The ability toreduce the impact on the traveling public isvery important to the department and playeda central role in the design of the project andis part of the ‘get in and get out’ policy putforward by CTDOT.”
Commenting on additional constructionmethods, which will reduce the long-termmaintenance costs, Adkins said, “The newbridges, which have been designed to have alifespan of nearly 75 years, are being builtwith what is referred to as ‘weathering steel’beams. Weathering steel has been used formore than 50 years and is a great alternative,as it does not require painting. In addition,five of the seven Lindley Street spans will beeliminated. The anticipated maintenancesavings during the lifetime of the bridge is inexcess of a million dollars.”
According to the Web site, “When theLindley Street Bridge was built, the landadjacent to the Lindley Street Bridge was aparking lot for the Bridgeport MachineCompany. Closure of the parking lot would have left the sitewith virtually no parking. The state decided at that time tobuild over the parking lot instead of displacing the companythat was a significant part of the Bridgeport industrial com-munity. Unfortunately the company no longer exists on thesite so the state was able to work to secure the land beneath
the bridge to allow the elimination of the spans.”The bridges were designed by WSP/Parsons
Brinckerhoff.“The biggest challenge during the design of the project
was finding a way to reduce the impact to the traveling pub-lic,” said Adkins. “We knew that a project that did not
employ accelerated bridge constructionmethods would create long term impacts onthe public. A great example of the success ofABC is the I-84 bridge replacement projectin Southington, where the contactor replacedthe superstructures over the course of aweekend.”
The construction schedule is based on twophases — two bridges per-phase. Duringtwo short term construction windows, oneside of Route 8/25 will be closed for approx-imately two weeks. Traffic will be detouredacross the median to the opposite side of thehighway. Opposing traffic will be separatedby concrete barriers for safety. There will beminor closures of Lindley Street and CapitalAvenue during these periods to allow for therapid construction. Minor local road detourswill be used to accommodate local traffic.
The footprint of Route 8/25 will remainunchanged in the final configuration of the
new highway infrastructure.“The expressway has ample room for current traffic and
future traffic increases,” stated the Web page. “There are alsono safety concerns with the current alignment of the road-ways, so re-alignments are not required. Minor changes are

proposed for the northbound exit ramp at Lindley Street. Anadditional lane will be added to the end of the ramp to makemore room for turning vehicles onto Lindley Street. Theintersection at the Lindley Street ramp will be upgradedalong with the intersection of Lindley Street and Route 1(North Avenue).”CTDOT noted that work will continue on the construction
of PBUs in the construction area along Route 8 NB at Exit 5and that in early summer, these PBUs will be transported tothe Lindley Street and Capital Avenue sites to be set in placeonce the existing structures have been removed.Justin Gill, Manafort’s heavy highway department man-
ager, takes nothing for granted in terms of working condi-tions.“With last winter still fresh in our minds,” he said, “we
planned for the additional effort required to place PBU con-crete during the cold weather months. Fortunately, the real-ity was unseasonably warm weather for late fall and earlywinter. This allowed us to place most of the concrete in quitefavorable temps. All of the PBU concrete was placed priorto the first large snow storm of the season.”This also is CTDOT’s first design-build project and Gill is
confident that Manafort has a thorough knowledge of thework, especially the upcoming bridge reconstruction.“Construction of each stage will be limited to 14 consec-
utive calendar days for each stage,” he said. “During each14-day period, one side of the expressway will be complet-ed, including construction of two bridges and the final fillingof the spans under the Lindley Street Bridge. “Offline improvements consist of rehabilitation of an
approximately 600 foot long metalbin retaining wall and intersectionimprovements in the vicinity of theLindley Street Route 8 northboundexit ramp,” he added. “This metal binretaining wall will be rehabilitatedwith precast concrete panels and soilnails extending under Route 8 south-bound. The intersection workinvolves the widening of LindleyStreet and the Route 8/25 northboundexit ramp at Lindley Street andreplacement of the traffic control sig-nal. This work also includes opera-tional improvements at the NorthAvenue and Lindley Street intersec-tion to the east. Offline work shall becompleted prior to the construction ofthe Route 8/25 bridges in order tofacilitate maintenance of traffic.”The final construction stage
involves a full width of asphalt over-lay for the entire length of the project— approximately 1,600 ft. (487.68m). The work will see the removal of
15,000 cu. yds. (11,468 cu m) ofexcavation; 60,000 cu. yds. (45,873cu m) of material fill, structural back-fill and road base; and 4,000 cu. yds. (3,058 cu m) of light-weight fill. This is bolstered by 6,000 cu. yds. (4,587 cu m)of structural concrete, 950,000 lbs. (430,912 kg) of rebar,150,000 lbs. (68,039 kg) of miscellaneous metals, 1 million
lbs. (453,592 kg) of structural steel and 14,000 tons (12,700t) of asphalt.On a daily basis there are between 35 to 45 people on site
doing regular extended shifts and second shifts, and with
two-week closure period this sum-mer, crews will be working round-the-clock. The key subcontractors areHartland Building and Restoration;Santoro, Inc.; A&J Paving; DucciElectrical Contractors; andUnderground Builders.Equipment being used includes
Volvo 360, Volvo 480, JD 450, JD750 excavators with demolitionattachments; Cat D4, Cat D6, JD 550bulldozers; Schwing 42M, Schwing32M concrete pump trucks; GroveRT600 hydraulic cranes; and earthmoving equipment such as Bobcat550 skid steers and Ingersoll RandSD50 and SD100 small rollers thatwere required to place fill under theexisting bridge structures. Manafort will rent self-propelled
modular transporters (SPMTs) tomove the PBUs on site. Thesemachines will be rented from MarinoCrane of Middletown, Mass. Largehydraulic cranes will be rented tohoist and set the heavy PBU sections.For these picks Manafort also will

By Wilson RingASSoCIATED PRESS
GREENSBoRo, Vt. (AP) In thesnowy woods of northern NewEngland and other forested parts of thecountry, the lumberjack is an endan-gered species.
As markets for forest productschange and high-tech machineryreplaces chain saws, which themselvesreplaced the ax, a generations-old wayof life is disappearing, one that histori-cally saw fathers pass on to their sonstheir love and knowledge of the woodsand the independence that came fromworking for oneself.
Ken Davis feels this keenly as hereaches retirement age after a half-cen-tury career with no one to pass thetorch to.
Davis once employed 19 peoplefull-time to cut the wood, haul it andthen truck it, sometimes to his log yard,other times directly to the now-disap-pearing mills across Vermont, New
Hampshire, Maine and upstate NewYork that would turn it into lumber orprocess it into paper. He now employsseven, and has no sons. His daughterand son-in-law tried it for a while, butthey didn’t keep at it.
“I’ve got the sawdust in my veins,and they don’t make a dialysismachine to get it out, so I’m still here,”Davis said recently at his log yard inthe town of Hardwick, in an especiallyrural region Vermonters call theNortheast Kingdom.
None of Davis’ employees areshowing interest in taking over hisbusiness. It’s the same story across theregion, said Michael Snyder, commis-sioner of the Vermont Department ofForest, Parks and Recreation.
“It’s dangerous, it’s hard to make aliving and everybody hates you,”Snyder said of logging. “Who’s sign-ing up for that?”
The arguments for not becoming alogger are solid.
For one, there’s just not as much
demand for paper and other woodproducts because of low commodityprices and international competition,making it less secure than it once was.It’s physically and — yes — intellectu-ally demanding work that increasinglyrequires special skills to run hugelyexpensive, high-tech machinery. Andbecause of that machinery, capitalinvestment needed to get started can beprohibitive.
The renaissance that farming hasundergone in recent years, with anemphasis on food systems and sustain-able agriculture, hasn’t brought thesame energy to logging. In many quar-ters, loggers are still seen as despoilersof the land. But Snyder noted thatwhile forests can do just fine on theirown, logging can support their healthby weeding out infestations and inva-sive species.
Logging entails a number of jobs,including fallers, who cut down treesby hand — essentially, lumberjacks;

operators of machinery used to fell trees;and graders and scalers, who check theamount and quality of the wood. The num-ber of all logging workers is expected to fallonly 4 percent from 2014 to 2024, from53,700 to 51,700, according to Bureau ofLabor projections.
Nationwide, the number of fallers is pro-jected to decline 17 percent over the sameperiod, from 8,200 in 2014 to 6,800 in 2024.
With the industry becoming more mecha-nized, the number of equipment operators isexpected to stay about the same, withgraders and scalers declining 2 percent andall other logging workers falling 7 percent.
“Today you are running a half-million,$600,000 machine, and not only do youneed to operate it, you’ve got to read GPSand computer-based technology equipment,you’ve got to be able to service and maintainthat equipment, you have to know forestry,environmental law, best management prac-tices, tree identification,” said Dana Doran,executive director of the ProfessionalLogging Contractors of Maine.
Across the region, efforts are under wayto bring along young loggers. The VermontTechnical College in Randolph helps trainforest technicians. In Maine, the industry isbacking a plan to train logging technicians incommunity colleges.
In the Northeast Kingdom, one of Davis’workers, 31-year-old Aaron Martin, said helikes the freedom of working outside in dif-ferent places. He has been logging for 10years, but few of his friends have beendrawn to the life, he said: “They don’t likebeing out in the cold.”
But as much as he likes his work, he hasno interest in being the boss.
“With that comes its own headaches,” hesaid. “It’s nice to be able to work for some-body else and not deal with all the stress thatcomes with paying all the bills and every-thing that goes with it, finding the next job.
“I just go to work and do what I’m told.It’s a lot simpler that way.”
