Project Description

The Bowker Overpass is being redesigned to improve it’s safety and serviceability and to add accomodations for pedestrians and cyclists.

Structural improvements include replacement of the superstructure and evaluation of the existing concrete piers and abutments for seismic resistance, rehabilitation, and reuse. The bridge replacement work will use accelerated bridge construction techniques to minimize traffic impacts.

HDR | City Point Partners is developing cost estimates and Contract Time Determination (CTD) schedules for this transformative project. We also participated in a value engineering study to determine the most cost-efficient methods to achieve the project’s goals.

Project Description

For over five years, City Point Partners has developed cost estimates and CTD schedules during design and reviewed contractors’ schedule updates during the construction of multiple bridge preservation, rehabilitation, and replacement projects for RIDOT, including:
The Henderson Bridge connecting Providence and East Providence.
Route 37 from Cranston to Warwick – 22 bridges

The bridge work includes repairs to the substructure/superstructure, steel repairs, rust removal, cleaning and painting, and new pavement.
