Bridge Rehabilitation - Route 202 over the Connecticut River,
Holyoke / South Hadley, MA

Major rehabilitation to a 7 span girder bridge over the Connecticut River including deck replacement and substructure repairs. The existing substandard rocker bearings were replaced with seismic isolator bearings to meet current AASHTO seismic requirements while retaining the existing foundations and piers. Sidewalks were added to the bridge and the copings upgraded to current safety standards. Staged construction was also included in the design to keep the bridge open to traffic throughout construction.

The project also included asbestos abatement, deleading, environmental protection/containment for lead paint removal and overcoating. Bayside’s scope of services included environmental permitting and design for the paint deleading and overcoating systems. Shop drawing review and structural analysis of the lead paint removal and containment system was also completed by Bayside. Complete lead paint containment and environmental protection was a critical element of this project due to an endangered species fish run through this portion of the Connecticut River and all paint deleading, containment and overcoating work was successfully completed in conformance with all applicable requirements.
