Project Description

Over 2016 and 2017, MassDOT achieved its goal of converting all 21 toll plazas on the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) to an All Electronic Tolling System (AETS), removing all remaining toll booths and administration buildings, and reconfiguring the toll plazas for smoother travel. The conversion eliminated delays associated with cash tolls, improved the efficiency of tolling maintenance and operations, increased vehicle safety at toll locations, and resulted in cleaner air in neighborhoods surrounding toll plazas. This complex project involved four MassDOT districts and engaged four contractors to complete construction.

City Point Partners provided cost estimating and scheduling for demolishing and realigning all 21 toll plaza locations on I-90.

Project Description

Connect Historic Boston (CHB) was a complex project involving multiple design firms and miles of city streets. The CHB project reconstructed four historic areas of Boston as shared or Complete Streets to improve access between transit and National Park Service sites. A 2013 TIGER Grant recipient, the CHB project provides improved alternative transportation access and includes a bike trail around downtown Boston. City Point Partners implemented a Project Controls Plan for the entire CHB construction project tracking cost estimates against actual financial commitment and expenditures. We also performed detailed budget analyses for the project reconciling cost variances and developing a conceptual cash flow based on approved budget.
