Engineering Department » This page provides a summary of all of the Engineering projects for Salem. For more detailed information on a particular project, please visit our Projects webpage. 2010 Projects Lawrence Road Bridge over Spicket River Replacement of an existing, deteriorated jack-arch bridge will be undertaken at this location starting in the spring of 2010 and is planned to be completed in the late fall of 2010. The old structure was on the NHDOT red list and has a posted weight restriction. The new structure will receive funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and the NHDOT Municipal Bridge Aid Program. As a result, the combination of these funding sources will result in a 100% reimbursement to the Town for reconstruction of this bridge. N Main Street Bridge over Widow Harris Brook Replacement of an existing stone masonry and reinforced concrete bridge will be undertaken at this location later in the spring/summer of 2010 and is planned to be completed in the late fall of 2010. The structure was subjected to temporary closure during the spring flooding of 2006 and interim measures were implemented in order to reopen the roadway to traffic. Eighty percent (80%) of costs associated with the bridge replacement will be reimbursed to the Town through the NHDOT Municipal Bridge Aid Program. Emerson Way Bridge over Widow Harris Brook Replacement of an existing reinforced concrete structure will be undertaken at this location later in the spring/summer of 2010 and is planned to be completed in the late fall of 2010. The structure was subjected to temporary closure during the spring flooding of 2006 and remains a one lane road to date. Eighty percent (80%) of costs associated with the bridge replacement will be reimbursed to the Town through the NHDOT Municipal Bridge Aid Program. Cluff Road Reconstruction Project Reconstruction of Cluff Road started in early April 2010 and will continue into the fall of 2010. The project involves road realignment, drainage upgrades, new road gravels and paving, resulting in a significant improvement to driving conditions along this frequently traveled road. Road Design – Brookdale Road, Brady Ave, Pelham Rd, and Stiles Rd This project involves engineering design associated with roadway improvements on Brookdale Rd (from Pelham Rd to Lake Shore Rd), Brady Ave (from Lowell Rd to Pelham Rd), Pelham Rd (from Stiles Rd to Cassidy Ave) and Stiles Rd. The project encompasses approximately 23,000 linear feet of road and will be ongoing throughout 2010. This work will facilitate a future proposal for a capital road project in this area. 2009 Ongoing Projects Pelham Road Bridge over Porcupine Brook Replacement of an existing, deteriorated and undersized structure was conducted in 2009. The new structure is a precast concrete box structure designed to better handle the hydraulic flow within Porcupine Brook. Eighty percent (80%) of costs associated with the bridge replacement will be reimbursed to the Town through the NHDOT Municipal Bridge Aid Program. Construction is substantially complete, and final project closeout is in progress. Construction Completion Report-09/29/09 Construction Progress Report-09/04/09 Construction Progress Report-08/21/09 Construction Progress Report-08/06/09 Cluff Crossing Bridge over Policy Brook Replacement of an existing, deteriorated steel plate arch was conducted in 2009. The old structure was on the NHDOT red list and had a posted weight restriction. The new structure is a precast concrete box structure. Eighty percent (80%) of costs associated with the bridge replacement will be reimbursed to the Town through the NHDOT Municipal Bridge Aid Program. Bridge construction is substantially complete. Minor sewer system replacement adjacent to the project remains to be completed prior to project closeout. Construction Progress Report-10/16/09 Construction Progress Report-10/06/09 Construction Progress Report-09/18/09 Construction Progress Report-09/04/09 Construction Progress Report-08/21/09 Press Release 2009 Road Improvement Program Proposal The 2009 Road Program consisted of the repair and/or reconstruction of Ball Avenue, Matthew Drive, and Tudor Drive. Construction started in July 2009 and was substantially completed in the fall of the year. This project is substantially complete. Minor punchlist items remain to be completed prior to project closeout. Project Update-09/14/09 2008 Road and Bridge Updates Shore Drive Road and Drainage Improvement Project This capital project involved the reconstruction of road and drainage improvements to Shore Drive, a portion of Cove Road, and Wheeler Dam Road. This group of roads constituted approximately 19,000 linear feet of roadway, and essentially comprised the main route along the southerly side of Arlington Pond between North Main Street and East Broadway. Construction started during the summer of 2008 and was suspended in December 2008 with the onset of winter weather, then resumed in March/April 2009. The project is substantially complete, and project closeout is in progress. Construction Progress Report-12/22/08 Construction Progress Report-12/08/08 Construction Progress Report-11/13/08 Construction Progress Report-10/30/08 Construction Progress Report-10/16/08 Construction Progress Report-10/02/08 Construction Progress Report-09/04/08 Construction Progress Report-08/21/08 Construction Progress Report-08/07/08 2008 Haverhill Road Bridge Replacement This capital project was the initial bridge to be replaced as part of the Town’s Bridge Program. The location, Haverhill Road over the Spicket River (adjacent to the intersection of Haverhill Road and North Main Street), was determined to be eligible for the NHDOT Municipal Bridge Aid Program, and as such, the Town received reimbursement of 80% of the costs related to the bridge work. Work was conducted in 2008, and the project has been completed and closed out. The Town has received approximately $ 454,000 in reimbursements from the NHDOT Municipal Bridge Aid Program for bridge costs associated with the work. Construction Progress Report-12/22/08 Construction Progress Report-12/01/08 Construction Progress Report-11/17/08 Construction Progress Report-11/03/08 Ongoing Engineering Department Initiatives Canobie Phase II – Sewer/Water Extension and Road Improvements TThis design project involves the engineering and planning for a future capital project which will result in the reconstruction of road and drainage improvements, plus installation of sewer and water extensions into two separate neighborhoods on the Salem side of Canobie Lake. The work represents the second phase of a program that would bring municipal sewer and water service to neighborhoods in the vicinity of Canobie Lake and will generally encompass the neighborhoods around West Duston Road and South Shore Drive. 2008 Drainage Inventory and Assessment Program The Drainage Inventory and Assessment Program is an ongoing project which consists primarily of a comprehensive inventory of all drainage structures (i.e. catch basins and manholes) and pipe outfalls. The inventory is supplemented by a condition assessment of the structures and outfalls, such that the data could be utilized within the Town’s Infrastructure Asset Management (IAM) software, and as a tool for future prioritization of system maintenance. In addition to the above, pipe outfalls will be observed to determine potential for the presence of illicit discharges within the drainage system, and a protocol will be developed by which any such discharges will be addressed and eliminated from the drainage system. This effort represents a portion of the Town’s Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) which was developed to meet requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II stormwater regulations. Work on this project will continue through 2010. Subsequent phases of work will also be implemented subject to Town funding in future years. Salem's Infrastructure Asset Management Software (SamIAM) The Engineering Department continues to work in cooperation with IT and DPW, to manage and update Salem's Infrastructure Asset Management database. Short term goals include the compilation of roadway, drainage, sewer, and water information for incorporation into the Town's Asset Management Software. Long range, the IAM will provide the means to inventory, track, and plan, future improvements to and investments in Salem's road, drainage, sewer, and water systems. Please direct any questions on these projects to Robert Puff, Engineering Director at 603-890-2033. |
