By Jay AdamsCEG CORRESPONDENT

In April, in a gesture that was symbolic,appropriate and moving, representatives ofthe Farmington Fire Department embeddedVincent DiPietro’s shield into the wet con-crete of the span of the bridge that will for-ever bear his name.

By Halloween, the $20.8 million VincentDiPietro Memorial Bridge will be finishedand, a few days later, dedicated to the manwho dedicated his own life to protecting thecitizens of Farmington.

New sheet aluminum will be added to thesides holding a plaque, identifying thebridge after DiPietro in a November cere-mony. Family, friends and colleagues —who, by the dozens, urged the state torename the old bridge that carried Route 4over the Farmington River — will attendthe event.

On Time and at BudgetThe Connecticut Department of

Transportation (ConnDOT) Route 4 Bridgeproject was awarded on March 14, 2008 toMiddlesex Corporation ofLittleton, Mass., and itbegan 10 days later. It isbeing finished on sched-ule, just as Mr. DiPietrowould have liked.

The estimated originalcost was $20.2 million,according to ProjectEngineer ChristopherZukowski. The estimatedactual cost comes in onlyslightly higher at $20.8

Segment of Coventry Greenway OpensThe Rhode Island Department of

Transportation (RIDOT) opened thenewest segment of the CoventryGreenway following a ribbon cuttingceremony on the path Oct. 14. The pathconnects two existing bike paths to forma continuous 14.2-mi. bikeway, makingit the second-longest bike path in RhodeIsland.

This 1.6-mi. path lies in the easternportion of Coventry, from Station Streetto Whitford Street, close to the WestWarwick line. To the west, the new pathconnects to an existing 2.7-mi. bike pathbuilt by the town of Coventry in the late1990s and runs from Station Street tothe area of Town Farm Road.

To the east, the new path connects toa 9.9-mi. network of three paths built byRIDOT in the mid 2000s from WhitfordStreet to Cranston Street in Cranston,not far from the Providence line.

“This is a very significant piecebecause it fills in a missing link betweentwo bikeways,” RIDOT DirectorMichael P. Lewis said. “Combinedthese paths provide a bona fide alterna-tive to driving a car so people can bikeor walk to school, work, or any otherdestination.”

The path was designed by the engi-neering firm Fuss & O’Neill ofProvidence and built by J.H. Lynch ofCumberland at a cost of $1.6 million.

Collectively, the individual bike paths— the Coventry Greenway, the WestWarwick Greenway, the Warwick BikePath and the Cranston Bike Path — areknown as the Washington SecondaryBike Path. They all exist on theWashington Secondary rail corridor ofthe former Hartford, Providence andFishkill Railroad, which ceased mostoperations in 1968 with all freight serv-ice discontinued by 1985.

At 14.2 mi. in length, the WashingtonSecondary is now only second to theEast Bay Bike Path (14.5 mi. long) forthe title of the longest bike path inRhode Island.

“The Coventry Greenway is atremendous asset for our town,”Coventry Town Council PresidentRaymond E. Spear said. “This new pathbuilds on that asset and we look forwardto future expansion in the comingyears.”

RIDOT and the Rhode IslandDepartment of EnvironmentalManagement are working collabora-

tively on design plans to extend the pathfurther west along the abandoned railline as far west as the Connecticut bor-der. No firm dates for construction havebeen selected, but the goal is to extendthe bikeway in two phases on a segmentof the former rail corridor known as theTrestle Trail. The first phase, about 5 mi.from Town Farm Road to Log BridgeRoad, could begin in late 2011 or early2012. The second phase, another 5 mi.from Log Bridge Road to theConnecticut border, could begin in late2012 or early 2013.

RIDOT also has under design anoth-er contract to make improvements onthe original Coventry Greenway seg-ment from Station Street to Town FarmRoad, including the addition of anequestrian path adjacent to the existingbike path, a spur from the CoventryPublic Library and Coventry TownHall, fencing, signing, parking lots andother amenities. A shade platform and ahandicapped-accessible canoe launchalso are planned for the bikeway nearthe intersection of Pilgrim Avenue andLaurel Avenue. The Department’s goalis to begin this project in mid 2011.

The new Coventry Greenway seg-ment and the other paths that com-prise the Washington SecondaryBike Path follow the route of theEast Coast Greenway, a proposed3,000-mi. bike path from Maine toFlorida. Rhode Island is a leaderamong East Coast states in gettingits segments of the East CoastGreenway built. The East CoastGreenway also will follow theBlackstone River Bikeway as ittravels north towardMassachusetts.

“The East Coast GreenwayAlliance, spearheading develop-ment of a 3,000-mile trail connect-ing cities of the eastern seaboard,congratulates RIDOT and the townof Coventry for completing theCoventry Greenway,” said EricWeis, trail program coordinatorand New England trail coordinatorof the East Coast GreenwayAlliance.

“Completion of this path giveslocal users a great route to WestWarwick, Warwick and Cranston,and as part of the East CoastGreenway, people can step onto thepath and head in one direction toget to Providence, Boston, orCanada or head the other way toreach New York, Washington D.C.,or Key West.”

Work Begins toRemove Dam,Stabilize BridgeSWANZEY, N.H. (AP) After 12 years of planning, workhas begun to remove a dam and stabilize a historic coveredbridge in Swanzey, New Hampshire.

The Homestead Woolen Mill Dam is on the AshuelotRiver close to the Thompson Covered Bridge. TheDepartment of Environmental Services says the dam hasbeen in disrepair for several years, but planning itsremoval was complicated by the cost and the need to con-sider the impact on historic resources as well as environ-mental and natural habitats.

Funding for the $500,000 project will come from sever-al federal and state agencies as well as conservationgroups.

The dam was breached in late August and work quicklybegan to relocate mussels that would be stranded by lowwater levels during construction.

Tyler Equipment’s WesternMass. Rep. Jim White Retires

After 45 years travelingacross westernMassachusetts as a sales rep-resentative of TylerEquipment, Jim White iscalling it a day.

“I’m going to my timeshare in Marco Island inJanuary and will be in theNaples area for February.After that, I will be makingout ‘honey-do’ lists for mywife to do during the day,”White said.

Mixed FeelingsWhite, who worked out of

the company’s headquartersin East Longmeadow, Mass.,when he wasn’t on the road,began his tenure at TylerEquipment in 1965. He’llofficially retire on Nov. 1.

“Retirement is a littlescary because I enjoyed myjob so much, but I’m sure I’llenjoy retirement,” he said.“Would I do it all over again?In a heartbeat. There would-n’t be any doubt in my mind.I never, ever, ever thoughtabout making a change.”

“There was never any reason to leave.You were with good people and you felt thatyou weren’t going to get any better than youare getting here. They are good, honest, sin-cere people who always supported you 100percent.”

“It’s more than just selling equipment …it’s the personal contacts and rapport,” hesaid. “They are honest, up front, and justgood down-to-earth people to work for.There’s not a person here that I don’t like.My co-workers have been friends. There hasnever been any competition, bitterness orfighting. We don’t have any of that.”

The feeling is apparently mutual.“If someone said describe Jim White in

one word — integrity. That’s Jim in a nut-shell. He’s positive and he has integrity,”said Bill Tyler, vice president of TylerEquipment.

“Jim is a good guy. He is well respectedand liked in this industry. He was a hugeasset to Tyler Equipment. Loyal as the day islong, and a pleasure to work with,” Tyleradded.

One for the Memory BooksOne of White’s fondest and definitely

embarrassing moments was when he was

visiting a customer for a demo on a wheelloader.

“I parked the car in a place I shouldn’thave parked it and he backed right over thecar. Flattened the entire thing,” he recalled.

Passing on the ReinsPeter Gaj will be taking over White’s posi-

tion on Nov. 1 as the sales representative inwestern Massachusetts.

Gaj will be an asset to the company,according to White.

“He’s a pretty sharp kid … service orient-ed. He will be talking to customers about theservice side of things, not just sales,” Whitesaid. “I would like to see him do well and Iwish him the best of luck.”

Volvo, Rotobec, Sennebogen, RogersTrailers, Rammer, Genesis, Metso Minerals,Bandit, Carlton and Rawson Manufacturing.

million.The impressive project team consisted of

owner ConnDOT; Zukowski; inspectorsBerger Lehman Associates PC; MichaelSolie, resident engineer; bridge designer,Purcell Associates; design liaison Close,Jensen and Miller P.C.; and design liaison,William Stark, along with contractorMiddlesex Corp., Project Managers JeffreyRoig, Bryan Tuxbury and Carl Berry andSuperintendent Town of Farmington,Director of Public Works, Russell Arnold

“The entire team partnered the project andmade it a huge success,” said Zukowksi.

Farmington is a relatively small town,while the bridge is a large construction proj-ect, in scope and duration.

“It consisted of large equipment — LinkBelt LS238H crane, excavators, loaders,concrete pumps, diesel hammers; large workarea — two temporary trestles across (the)entire width of the Farmington River, all pro-viding great interest to the local communi-ty,” said Zukowksi. “The bridge is part of amajor commuter route. The public can seedaily changes to the site as most residentsuse the bridge daily.”

Honoring Local ChiefThe existing bridge was replaced after a

major flood washed out Farmington in 1955.The new one is being named after a manwho served his nation and his communityfor nearly that long.

Vincent DiPietro served on the FireDepartment for 34 years in Farmington. Heserved as firefighter, Fire Chief and FireMarshal. He also had served honorably inVietnam. Mere months before he died ofcancer in August of 2008, he was given aproclamation by the town, highlighting hismany accomplishments and dedication.

A grassroots campaign, including dozensof letters written by colleagues and officials,town and state representatives and fellowfirefighters, resulted in the renaming of theRoute 4 Bridge to Chief DiPietro’s honorand memory.

Letters such as this: “Vinny left the town of Farmington —

and especially its Fire Department — amuch safer place than he found it 34 yearsago. On a personal level, Vinny was a men-tor and a friend to me. Vinny was quick witha cup of coffee and a reassuring smile andalways willing to share the knowledge hehad acquired while on the job… Althoughit’s easier said than done, it’s somethingVinny embodied and something that Iendeavor to take forward with me in mycareer.

“Naming the Route 4 Bridge after FireMarshal Vincent DiPietro would be an

amazing tribute to an amazing man who didso much for Farmington.”

Sincerely,Mary-Ellen L. HarperDirector of Fire & Rescue Services

Or this: “This letter is to request your considera-

tion in naming the new bridge in Farmingtonafter Vincent DiPietro. He was an aggressivefirefighter, an honest town of Farmingtonemployee, a fair Fire Marshal and a person-al friend of mine. We worked together for allof my 31 years for the town of FarmingtonFire Department.

Vince was born in Farmington, went toFarmington schools, worked in Farmingtonand lived in Farmington all of his life. Hewas a good friend of mine, and I would beproud to see his name on Farmington’s newbridge.”

Charles FrinkFirefighter/ EMT/Fire Inspector(retired)Palm Coast, Florida

And dozens more. Their writers will allbe in attendance in early November whenthe bridge is officially dedicated, in a cere-mony organized by point man Gary Larkum.

Wider Bridge for TrafficAccording to the ConnDOT White Paper,

Project 51-257/262 includes the completereplacement of the Route 4 Bridge over theFarmington River as well as capacity andsafety improvements to the Route 4 intersec-tion at Town Farm Road.

Town Farm Road is the entrance road tothe Tunxis Plantation golf courses, and theFarmington Club banquet and meeting facil-ity.

The original structure was built in 1955and was approximately 400 by 38 ft. (121.9by 11.5 m) wide and consisted of four sim-ple supported reinforced concrete deckspans. The existing bridge only carried onelane of traffic in each direction, and was con-sidered hydraulically inadequate since it wasunable to allow river flow during a 100-year

storm event to pass beneath it. The averageannual daily traffic on this section of Route 4is 23,900 vehicles per day (2008 estimated).

The new bridge also is 400-ft. (121.9 m)long, but is 58 ft. (17.6 m) wide and providescapacity improvements such as an addition-al travel lane in the eastbound direction,shoulder widths and new pedestrian side-walks in both directions. New pedestrianoverlooks also have been constructed onboth the north and south sides of the bridge.The pedestrian overlooks are accessiblefrom the sidewalks on the bridge and includebenches for public use.

There is an existing parking lot immedi-ately adjacent to the bridge, which providedlimited access to the Farmington River. Aspart of this project, the parking area has beenmade larger and a new handicap accessiblefishing pier has been constructed. This pro-vides enhanced public access to the river.The new access road to this area was

Steel erection on the $20.8 million dollar project.

widened and realigned to provide saferaccess to and from the area.

Concrete form liners have been used onthe outside of the abutment stem walls, andalong the inside and outside of the wingwalls to provide a northeast dry stackstonewall pattern. Form liners also wereused on the deck overhang fascias and toprovide a weathered limestone look. Theweathered limestone pattern also was used atthe pedestrian overlooks and to construct 4-ft. high concrete pedestals along the northand south sidewalks across the bridge. Thepedestals support new decorative light stan-dards that were put in place in September.

Intersection improvements at the TownFarm Road intersection include new turninglanes on Route 4 in both the eastbound andwestbound directions. These will sheltertraffic turning from Route 4 onto Town FarmRoad while providing continuity in theRoute 4 through traffic lanes.

Working With CommunityExtensive landscaping is being provided

along the entire length of the project fromthe Town Farm Road intersection at the westend of the project to the east side of theFarmington River at the east end of the proj-ect.

The bridge crosses the Farmington Riverwithin an area of concern relative toConnecticut’s Natural Diversity Data Base.The Wildlife Division of the Bureau ofNatural Resources had indicated the pres-ence of fresh water mussels within the limitsof permanent and temporary environmentalimpact areas. The contract included provi-sions to relocate various freshwater musselspecies prior to the start of construction.

Although the public might have been frus-trated with traffic congestion, unwantednoise and day-to-day disruptions, residentsand local businesses are pleased with theappearance of the final product of the newbridge structure.

“The decorative form liners; wide public-friendly sidewalks; decorative overlooks,complete with benches and quaint bridgelighting all combine to create a bridge thatwe can all be proud to have in our commu-nity,” according to ConnDOT.

“We, the project team, DOT and contrac-tor, worked closely together to schedule theoperations to make the least impact on thecommunity. Through open communicationwith select residents, we informed themahead of time of our operations (whichmight affect them),” added Zukowski. “Thisdialogue eased their frustration. The gestureon our part showed them that we cared andthis went a long way in keeping the peace.We utilized changeable message boardsposted on either side of the work zone to

alert motorists to upcoming stage changes aswell as other unexpected activities. Allannouncements were posted on ourConnDOT website, as well.”

The town of Farmington was incorporat-ed in 1645. Known as the “Mother Town,”Farmington was partitioned into the townsof Avon, Bristol, Plainville, New Britain,Berlin, Southington, and Burlington.

Today, Farmington comprises 28.7 sq. mi.along the Farmington River. It is a residentialsuburb in the Hartford Metropolitan area thathas retained its distinctive character throughmaintenance of its historic districts and care-ful land use planning for the future.

Route 4 is one of the major arteries inFarmington, perhaps the most direct route toI-84. I-84 is a major East-West interstatehighway that services Hartford as well asWaterbury to Danbury, Conn.

Tricky Sewer WorkZukowski said that a most interesting

aspect of the project was, “The close prox-imity, upstream, of an existing sanitarysewer siphon line under the river that servesas a main trunk line to the sewage treatmentfacility nearby. Peak flows were estimated at9 million gallons per day. To avoid an envi-ronmental disaster, the designers determinedthat the use of vibratory equipment wouldnot be allowed.

“The concern was liquefaction of thegranular soils in the streambed which couldforce displacement of the 24-inch and 18-

inch concrete sewer pipes, under the river.The result: Impact driving of all temporarytrestle piles, sheet piling for cofferdams andpermanent 12-inch steel piles utilizing anAPE D19 diesel hammer,” Zukowski con-tinued. “This operation was not only slowerthan vibratory, but noisy as well. The noisewas the larger concern given the close prox-imity of neighbors, and extended (contractormandated) work hours during the environ-mental window forced some pile installationto occur during the night time hours.”

As a result of this tricky section of under-water construction, the contractor wasforced to leave behind approximately 2,600linear ft. of 24-inch round steel piles in theriver during the Stage 1 trestle removal sincewithout the use of vibratory equipment theycould not break free the piles. “Theyattempted (it) with the use of pneumaticextractor, to no avail,” added Zukowski.

The contractor was able to demonstratethe effectiveness of a variable momentvibratory hammer to minimize vibration forStage 2. Through an extensive monitoringprogram, at Middlesex’s expense, all partiesagreed to allow the use of the “new” tech-nology for Stage 2 pile installations.

“The Stage 2 trestle and bridge construc-tion was further away from the sewer line,providing a better factor of safety. Advancetesting revealed that the distance from thehammer was directly proportional to themagnitude of the vibrations,” saidZukowski. “As you are aware, a variable

moment hammer uses the rotating of eccen-tric weights to counteract the excessivevibration which occurs in a vibratory ham-mer during start-up and shut-down. All pileswere initially set with the PVE 40VM vibra-tory hammer and then driven to refusal withthe diesel impact hammer. This allowedStage 2 to progress quicker and quieter.”

Public opinion of this challenging andmeticulous work has been good throughout.Project personnel worked closely with localbusinesses and adjacent property owners tokeep them well informed of upcoming con-struction activities. Difficult activitiesincluded pile driving operations and night-time activities where noise was a concern.Middlesex Corp., the contractor, was willingto adjust work schedules in an effort to miti-gate noise during the most sensitive periods.

Under contractor Middlesex, sub-contrac-tors for the job included:

*ADF Industries - Installation of metalbeam rail and end anchorages, decorativefence, open bridge rail, split rail fence

RIDOT Director: Question 3Will Help Better Serve R.I. By Michael P. LewisSPECIAL TO CEG

Every two years the Rhode IslandDepartment of Transportation (RIDOT) asksthe public to partner with us and approve atransportation bond referendum. This yearRIDOT is asking voters do the same thing byvoting yes on Question 3 so that we can con-tinue to improve our State’s network of roadsand bridges.

Approval gives RIDOT 20 percent of thefunding required to leverage the dollars thatthe federal government provides (the other80 percent) for new construction projects.Without these bonds Rhode Island trans-portation projects would come to a virtualhalt as there would not be enough dollars topay the cost of construction.

There is no other immediate source offunding for our transportation initiatives. IfRhode Island doesn’t spend these federaldollars another state will.

Many pieces of Rhode Island’s infrastruc-ture are reaching what could be called mid-dle age. Baby boomers know all too wellwhat happens when they turn 50 or more —things start to wear out and more attentionhas to be paid to what we’d always taken forgranted.

The same holds true for our transportationsystem. Harsh weather, ever increasing traf-fic volumes, and even things like the flood-ing we experienced in March chip away atour once solid foundation. And while everyroad and bridge that is open to traffic is safefor travel, maintaining what we have hasbecome more important than ever.

The referenda’s $84.7 million will provide$80 million to RIDOT, directly fundingimprovements on the state’s highways, roadsand bridges, as well as $4.7 million that willpurchase new RI Public Transit Authority(RIPTA) buses and rehabilitate older ones,too.

With these funds RIDOT expects to investin projects from Westerly to Woonsocket.Examples of what can be done include thereplacement of the I-95 Providence Viaductand weight restricted I-95 Pawtucket River

Bridge, resurfacing of Hope Street in Bristoland Route 44 in Chepachet, and the replace-ment of the Cove/Escape Bridge inPortsmouth. Overall construction willinclude road, bridge and bike path repavings,reconstructions, rehabilitations, and repairs.

The 2008 bond initiative provided RhodeIslanders with improvements to vital proj-ects such as the Union Avenue Bridgereplacement project in Providence, the resur-facing of I-95 between Exit 3 in Richmondand Weaver Hill Road in West Greenwich,and the repair of Round Top Bridge inBurrillville.

These dollars went into commuter rail andhelped to build the InterLink at T.F. GreenAirport and the upcoming WickfordJunction Commuter Rail Station in NorthKingstown. They even went into a statewideRI-LEAP local roads program that madelocal roadway improvements in nearly all 39cities and towns.

And with all the improvements comejobs.

According to the Federal HighwayAdministration, Question 3 is expected toemploy more than 5,000 people in construc-tion related jobs. In turn, those jobs helpdrive the economy forward, creating addi-tional state revenues through related goodsand services.

RIDOT wants to continue to improve ourroads and bridges. Amiddle-aged transporta-tion system should grow old gracefully andremain a productive member of society andnot necessarily have to worry about jointrepair and bridge replacements. The achesand pains our system suffers, however, are aby-product of having one of the oldest trans-portation systems in the country.

The approval of Question 3 means aFederal investment in Rhode Island of $423million for a State share of just 20 cents onthe dollar. That is a sound investment in ourfuture and one that will go a long waytowards making middle age more manage-able.

Michael P. Lewis is the director of theRhode Island Department of Transportation.
