The Massachusetts Dept. of Transportation and a contracting team are in discussions regarding fabrication issues that caused a two-year delay in the completion of a key crossing between Quincy and Weymouth. The full completion of the $244-million Fore River Bridge replacement, originally slated for Jan. 5, 2017, is now projected for February 2019.
One of the projects in MassDOT’s accelerated bridge construction program, the design-build effort includes a successful float-in of the 2.9-million-lb center span this summer.
