Wellesley “Heavy Lift” Customer Service Success. Posted by Shoukry Elnahal, Deputy Chief Engineer for Bridges and Tunnels. Route 9 and Cedar Street were quietly reopened to traffic on Monday morning, almost twelve hours before they were scheduled to be open. A few onlookers watched as some of the first cars travelled under Route 9, and a few drivers sounded their horns and waved appreciatively at the workers. Onlookers stopped by the site throughout the weekend to watch the work rapidly progress. Over a hundred people stood by as the bridge moved. To accomplish that, Mass. DOT pre- constructed the replacement bridge superstructure in a cloverleaf near the old bridge. Doing so kept a vast majority of the work outside of the roadway, nearly eliminating traffic impacts to Route 9. As shown in the short movie below, once the new bridge superstructure was ready, Mass. DOT needed to demolish the old bridge and install new portions of the center pier and abutments. On Sunday morning, all preparations were complete. At 5: 0. 0 AM, four multi- axle machines called Self- Propelled Modular Transporters (or SPMTs) rumbled to life from their position underneath the new bridge superstructure. They moved in unison, carrying the 5. Cedar Street ramp. Then, at 8: 1. 5, the SPMTs. The wheels rotated again, and the bridge moved down Route 9, arriving at the pier and abutments at 9: 3. The SPMTs held the bridge above the substructure until the early afternoon, when it was lowered into place. Crews worked throughout the night to prepare to reopen the bridge. Temporary lane markings are in place and one sidewalk is open for pedestrians. Crews will continue to put the finishing touches on the bridge throughout the month, during off- peak hours. This work includes installing architectural pilasters, final paving and lane marking, completion of sidewalks, and installing signs.
