Storrow Drive Bridge Opens

On October 7th a ceremony was held to mark the opening of the Leverett Circle Connector and the Storrow Drive Bridge. The many politicians who attended and spoke all commended the great job done on the project by the construction workers and companies involved. The speakers included Governor Cellucci and James Keresiotes.
The work involved included the installation of two 15 KV armored interlock cables. The cables run approximately two thousand feet on the underside of I-93.  Each cable is supported by a messenger at an elevation

of sixty feet.  The cables serve a doubled ended unit substation, which will be used to provide power for the construction of the new mainline bridge. City Lights performed all of the work including the complex cable pulls, 15 KV terminations and splices, and cleaning of the owner furnished switchgear.
A Navigation Assistance System was installed to help boaters using the Charles River to enjoy it safely .
The high voltage conduit work involved the installation of 5000' of five inch rigid conduit. The communi
cation and 480 volt conduits installed totaled

more than 30,000 feet of Above Ground Fiberglass Reinforced Epoxy conduit, supplied by the Arthur Hurley Wire Company. Power Panels were installed to feed the metal halide lighting and convenience receptacles.
Traffic Loops were installed and poured in place. The connection of the loops will be completed under the follow on contract, which is the
C22A2 project.  We  will be part of the team on this 112 Million Dollar Project.  A special thank you goes to Rich Mansfield, project foreman; to all of our employees who worked on the project; and to the Daniel O'Connell's Sons Company, the General Contractor; and to Mr. Bruce Anderson, their Project Manager.
