Construction-related activities continue on the Washington Bridge Rebuild project, with design, soil sampling, geographic surveying, permit applications, and the ordering of materials. Over the next two weeks, crews using boring equipment will be operating from barges on the water.
Weather permitting, we are scheduled to close up to two lanes for continued bridge preventative maintenance activities on I-195 West at the Washington Bridge, Sunday-Thursday nights, January 11-15, and January 18-22, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Also on Tuesday nights, January 13 and 20, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., maintenance crews are scheduled to sweep I-195 in both directions in a moving operation from I-95 to the Massachusetts line. We’ll also have alternating two lane closures for drainage work on I-195 West, from Exit 2 (Broadway) to Exit 1C (South Main Street), Sunday-Thursday nights from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. If only one lane needs to be taken, the operation will begin at 9 p.m.
The approved in-water demolition has been completed to the required elevations. Next week, demolition crews will be doing post-completion inspections and cleanup. Turbidity curtains will remain in place during this time.
