The Town of Harpswell procured Reed and Reed in the Fall of 2017 for the demolition of the existing Mitchell Field Pier. This project included the removal of a 240-foot-long concrete pier and associated pilings, a 240 lineal foot U-shaped boat dock composed of a concrete cap and sheet pile walls, and a breasting platform and two dolphin platforms (Five- 40-foot diameter sheet pile cells filled with gravel and fill). Approximately 40,000 tons of gravel material were dredged from the cells, 4800 tons of concrete removed, and over 1700 tons of steel and piling removed. The project’s construction schedule was set for May of 2019. The project began in January of 2018 and was substantially completed by September 2018, 7 months ahead of original schedule and on budget.

The Lisbon Center Bridge Street bridge work began in late June 2018 and was set on a fast track 4-month construction schedule to be completed and opened to traffic in the Fall of 2018. The project included the removal of a 2-span concrete T-beam bridge being replaced with a new 88-foot bridge span, composed of precast New England Bulb-Tee Girders with a 9” concrete deck and integral wearing surface. A sheet pile cofferdam on ledge was installed for the Abutment 1 foundation and a large sandbag cofferdam was utilized for the construction of Abutment 2 foundation. Also included in the project was approximately 450 feet of full depth approach work that Reed and Reed self-performed which included the installation of a new waterline and natural gas line.

As winter approaches the crew has just completed the phase 2 deck placement and closure pour.  Sidewalk, bridge rail, membrane and paving remain to complete phase 2; at which time traffic can be switched for Phase 3, which includes the multi-use path, and decorative sitting walls and pavers below the bridge.

The $5 million Yarmouth Main Street bridge replacement project consists of replacing the existing 3-span arched concrete deck structure with a new structure that is nearly identical to the old.  The bridge includes decorative pilasters on the piers and abutments which require detailed work to replicate the original structures. The project is phased construction; with 2-way traffic required to be maintained on half of the old structure while the other half is removed and replaced.  Additionally, two-way traffic and pedestrian sidewalks are maintained beneath the structure on Main Street, with specifically allowed weekend closures of Main Street allowed for certain activities.

The approach roadwork for the project includes, relocating an on and off ramp for southbound Route 1 traffic, elevating final grades of mainline Route 1, utility relocations, and mitigating traffic impact to surrounding high-traffic roadways, intersections and nearby businesses and schools.  Phased roadwork, including temporary pavement and various temporary traffic control patterns to manage this work.

Finish work below the bridge includes concrete sitting walls, granite pavers and extensive lighting.  The bridge is a prominent structure located at the heart of Main Street in Yarmouth right next to City Hall and the town library and is where the annual Yarmouth Clam Festival is held; and will undoubtedly be the centerpiece for the town events in the area.

The Deerfield Wind Project is a 30 MW wind generator facility located in Bennington County, Vermont.  The Project includes eight (8) 2.0 MW Gamesa G97 turbines and seven (7) 2.0 MW Gamesa G87 turbines, with spread-footing foundations, 6.4 miles of 34.5kV underground collector system, 5.1 miles of gravel ridgeline roads, and an operations building.  The site is located within the Green Mountain National Forest.

The project site is located primarily on two undeveloped woodland ridges south of Searsburg, Vermont in Bennington County. The ridges are separately referred to as either the East or West ridge, on either side of Vermont Route 8.

The project consisted of challenging schedule and site conditions.  As the first commercial wind project located within a National Forest utmost consideration was taken to maintain compliance with the environmental and stormwater permit requirements.

The project achieved commercial operation December 30, 2017.

Reed & Reed has recently been awarded the Maine Turnpike York Toll Plaza Mile 8.8 Project in York, Maine.

The $40 million Mile 8.8 Project consists of constructing six (6) open, high-speed (70 mph) E-ZPass center lanes (3 in each direction) with overhead open frame gantries with electronic toll collection equipment, nine (9) cash lanes with toll booths (4 northbound and 5 southbound) with canopies, reconstruction of mainline to accommodate approach and departure lanes at the new toll plaza with construction of a precast pedestrian tunnel for employee access and utilities, and a new driveway from Chases Pond Road providing access to a new parking lot and Administration Building.

The work includes maintenance of traffic, clearing, drilling and blasting ledge, earthwork, concrete foundations and slabs, precast tunnel, paving, overhead sign structures, concrete barrier, guardrail, electrical systems and mechanical systems.

The work will start in November 2018 and be complete in the Summer 2021.

The Exit 44 Open Road Tolling (ORT) Project in Scarborough Maine consists of replacing the existing toll plaza, construction of two northbound and two southbound open road tolling (ORT) lanes and two northbound and two southbound cash/E-ZPass lanes. It also includes construction of a precast pedestrian tunnel for employee access and utilities, construction of an Administration Building, reconfiguration of Exit 1 ramp, construction of snow plow turnarounds, demolition of existing toll plaza and reconstruction of the mainline to accommodate approach and departure grade and alignment differentials at the modified plaza for the Maine Turnpike.
The work includes maintenance of traffic, earthwork, shoring, piles, concrete, paving, overhead sign structures, concrete barrier, guardrail, electrical work, lighting, lightning suppression systems and demolition of the existing Exit 44 toll plaza and administration building.
The ORT lanes were completed in August 2018. Work on the cash lanes is underway and will be followed by the phased demolition of the existing plaza. The work started in April 2017 and planned to be complete in October 2019.

The Yarmouth Main Street bridge replacement project consists of replacing the existing 3-span arched concrete deck structure with a new structure that is nearly identical to the old. The bridge includes decorative pilasters on the piers and abutments which require detailed work to replicate the original structures. The project is phased construction with 2-way traffic required to be maintained on half of the old structure while the other half is removed and replaced. Additionally, two-way traffic and pedestrian sidewalks are maintained beneath the structure on Main Street with specifically allowed weekend closures of Main Street for demolition and falsework related activities. A combination of steel framing and a prefabricated deck forming system on a crane mat foundation is used during construction to form and place the arched concrete deck. Opening Phase 1 of the new bridge to traffic occurred in mid-June and demolition of the remaining half of the existing bridge followed immediately thereafter.

The approach roadwork for the project includes, relocating an on and off ramp for southbound Route 1 traffic, elevated final grades of mainline Route 1, utility relocations, and mitigating traffic impact to surrounding high-traffic roadways, intersections and nearby businesses and schools. Phased roadwork, including temporary pavement and various temporary traffic control patterns are used to manage this work.
