说明
Our office has been effected by the closing of the state street exit in New Haven Connecticut. The entire community has had to deal with long traffic delays and complicated detours for over two years! The homes and business in the area effected by this closure. Business are losing patrons due to the inconvenience of getting to offices. Parents and children are missing time with their families due to traffic patterns causing delays. I would like to be informed of plans for this project and a time frame. In two years it seems as though nothing is being done.

Justin Elicker and Roland Lemar have said that the bridge will be reopened by the end of 2012. Is there something we feel like we should be asking for from the State in return for the trouble?
As a side note, It would be great to have you guys join the Upper State Street Association as we need help paying the bills to keep the street clean. Would you be interested in participating?

I'm confused by the last comment. Was that on behalf of Pediatric Dentistry Associates?
Thanks,

Hi PDA,
The project engineer from the state had the following update in November. I understand it does not mitigate the inconvenience of the delay, but at least it gives some background about why it has taken longer than expected:
The State Street Bridge was closed for replacement in October of 2010. The original completion date was scheduled in October of 2011.
During the construction of the west abutment, contaminated ground water was discovered upon beginning excavation. The volume of contaminated ground water is excessive and the ground water treatment facility onsite and the Greater New Haven Water Pollution Control Agency are not able to handle that volume of contaminated water being generated.
The Department of Transportation together with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection conducted a field investigation and it appears that the dewatering operation drew contaminants from a nearby area beyond the construction activities. It was determined that to handle the contaminated ground water volume the ground water treatment facility required modifications. In addition, a different construction technique needs to be developed to minimize the infiltration.
The city of New Haven and the Department of Transportation are developing a new design for the abutments and wingwalls to minimize the infiltration, this design will be completed soon and hopefully activities will restart in December. We will continue to work to address this unforeseen site condition in a timely manner in order to complete the new State Street Bridge as quickly as possible.

Any updates on resumption of construction, estimated date of completion or a new design for the abutments?
Progress? (客人)
