New Peck's Road Bridge Coming Soon

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A new Peck's Road bridge will be installed in February after six months of closure.

On Wednesday, the city reported that progress is "well underway," with the bridge structure expected for delivery in early February and installation in the following 2-5 weeks.

"Several unexpected delays have occurred during this project due to the unplanned, sudden closure of the one lane crossing as required by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT) due to observed structural failures. This necessitated significant changes to the project plans, specifications, and approach, transitioning from a phased, side-by-side installation to a single, complete bridge installation," the city wrote in a press release.

"Despite these challenges, progress is well underway. The bridge structure has been fabricated and is ready for delivery. DOT has approved shop drawings for installation, and utility companies are on track to complete their preparatory work this week."

The bridge was abruptly closed to traffic in July following a MassDOT inspection found six areas of deterioration. 

Work includes the demolition of the old bridge, which happened last fall, and reconstruction of the span over Onota Brook that had been reduced to one lane for five years. A detour takes travelers from Peck's Road to Onota Street, Vin Herbert Boulevard, and to Valentine Road.

Rifenburg Construction is set to mobilize by the end of next week and the bridge structure is expected to arrive during the week of Feb. 3. Installation will reportedly take two to three weeks in favorable weather conditions and up to four to five weeks if weather interruptions occur.

The bid was awarded to the contracting company for $1,535,420 with a 10 percent construction administration budget and a 10 percent contingency budget, bringing the total estimated cost to $1,842,504.
