June Bates Bridge Update
We had hoped that it would be 21% by June 21st – but the news is still good. The Bates Bridge project is 18% complete.
As most of you can see from all the cranes and heavy equipment, construction is going quickly, with most of the work being done from working barges on the downriver side of the Merrimack.
On the Groveland side, utility relocation work continues along Main Street. To see pictures, go to the Groveland/Haverhill Bates Bridge Reconstruction page.

May Bates Bridge Update
Mother Nature may be taking her time bringing us spring weather, but one thing that isn’t taking it’s time is work on the new Bates Bridge – Cianbro contractors are ahead of schedule and work is 17% complete.
Crews working on barges set up within the river have finished both the installation and excavation of the cofferdams for the new pier locations. As you may recall from our last update, Cianbro has implemented a new traffic management setup to facilitate roadway construction on the Groveland side. This phase also creates a work zone for the contractor to start work on the new southerly bridge abutment.
Pile installation in the area of the north abutment and the northeast retaining wall on the Haverhill side of the river has again commenced, after being on hold due to weather conditions from the winter. On the Groveland side, utility relocation work continues along Main Street.

Bates Bridge Traffic Management Plans - Stage 2 - Groveland
This week the Bates Bridge Reconstruction traffic management plans moved into its second stage on the Groveland side, altering the traffic flow.
To create a work zone, Jersey barriers have been installed along Main Street from the post office to the existing bridge.
As you may have noticed, the barriers have taken the right turn lane near the bridge for use as a sidewalk for pedestrians. For the duration of Stage 2, stop signs will be replacing the existing flashing signals at the intersection. This phase of the construction process on the Groveland side is estimated to last until spring 2012.
Below you can see the traffic management plan. (click to enlarge)
