Heavy Highway and Bridge Construction
-
Renewable Energy at SPS
SPS New England constructs a new wind turbine.
-
SPS has quickly become a leader in the Design Build arena, having completed 2 design build projects, including the first design build project ever awarded by MassDOT in Grafton, MA, as well as the first MassDOT “heavy lift” design build project in Phillipston, MA which included the removal and replacement of the entire bridge superstructure on mainline Route 2 in less than 6 days.
-
The Structures Maintenance division at SPS specializes in performing all types of bridge repairs and maintenance to literally hundreds of bridges in Massachusetts. SPS’ Maintenance division has built a reputation unmatched by any other company in the State for its ability to respond quickly and perform repairs efficiently and safely at any time of day or night to minimize delays to the traveling public while improving the condition Commonwealth’s roads.

Route 79/I-195 Interchange Improvements Project in Fall River, Massachusetts
Known to some as the “spaghetti ramps”, the Route 79 viaducts were built in 1965 as part of the I-195 interchange with Route 79 near Battleship Cove. Currently, 12 bridges within the interchange are structurally deficient and need rehabilitation. Construction is expected to start in spring 2013.

Westminster Project on Track to Finish 1 Year Ahead of Schedule
On November 18, 2011, both Route 2 Eastbound and Westbound traffic was successfully shifted into the projects Phase 2 configuration. This milestone, was part of the of the $11 Million Dollar, twin bridge replacement project on Route 2 over Route 140 and the result of SPS’s innovation and a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) that reduced the project duration by one entire year. This was accomplished by redesigning one of the two bridge structures to eliminate an entire phase of bridge work and a large portion of temporary roadway.
SPS Project Voted TOP TEN in Country
SPS New England’s “Heavy Lift” Design Build project in Phillipston, MA has been chosen as one of the top ten projects in the country by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) as part of the 2011 American Transportation Awards competition.
