I-90/I-95 Newton-Weston Project Update – June 2024

The SPS-Walsh Joint Venture crews continue I-90 mainline Stage 1 bridge construction. Pier cofferdam construction in the Charles River has completed and crews have been moving forward with driven piles, tremie seal, concrete pile cap and lower column placements of Pier 2. This work has included 400 cubic yards of recently placed concrete for the Pier 2 bridge foundation elements.
Kudos to the crew for their hard work and dedication. It’s efforts like these that lay the foundation for not just structures, but also for strong teamwork and project success.
Shout out to Benevento Companies for delivering a quality product and Independent Concrete Pumping Corp. for their support in the placement operation.

Belden G. Bly Drawbridge Project Achieves Significant Milestone

The Belden G. Bly Drawbridge Project achieved a significant milestone yesterday. The Team performed a successful test opening of the new bridge at around 6:00pm.

Work began on this project in January of 2021. The bascule span erection work was restricted to occur during a USCG Saugus River channel closure between 2/1/24 and 5/15/24. The SPS Team, MassDOT and our Subcontractor partners worked tirelessly to achieve this milestone.

Congratulations to the entire Team.
