Traversing five Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority MBTA and Amtrak rail lines, the bridge required a Manitowoc MLC-650, one of the largest cranes on the East Coast, to be set into place. The team achieved this over two consecutive night shifts, carefully coordinated with the MBTA and Amtrak to minimize disruptions to railway operations. Realized on time and on budget, the project has also been recognized with several awards from other industry organizations, earning the 2020 Design Honor Award by the Boston Society of Landscape Architects and the 2020 Envision Bronze Award by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure.We are proud to have supported Northeastern University with owners representative services for this award-winning project, says Hill Vice President Peter Martini. In addition to being a functional and safe means of addressing campus and neighborhood traffic, this bridge was beautifully designed with glass panels that allow for excellent views of downtown Boston and special weathering steel, which will age in a controlled and deliberate way to protect the structure with a corrosion-resistant layer of rust. This material gives the bridge a unique industrial color and prevents the need for regular repaintinglimiting disruptions to the railway operations beneath. The final product is a testament to the hard work of the whole project team.
