In coordination with MassDOT, AMTRAK and MBTA Railroads, SPS successfully demolished and reconstructed this 165-ft bridge over the busy AMTRAK Acela corridor in downtown Attleboro, MA.
Coordination for demolition of the extremely deteriorated pre-existing Olive Street Bridge and reconstruction of the proposed structure over AMTRAK’s high voltage overhead catenary system (OCS) required the relocation of dozens of overhead and underground utilities. This required precise coordination and scheduling between Town and State officials, AMTRAK and MBTA Flaggers and A-Men, dozens of individual utility companies and private third-party relocation subcontractors.
All work was completed on time, with zero OSHA recordable injuries and no lost-time injuries during the project’s approximate 35,700 Man Hours.
