Maine Department of Transportation Project - Harward’s Crossing Bridge Removal and Grade Change Route 24, Bowdoinham ME
Remove the Harward’s Crossing Bridge and change the grade of the road to meet the existing railroad crossing. Short time frame for this project as road had to be closed and traffic re-routed while the bridge was being removed and approximately 40,000 cubic yards of excavation had to be hauled off. Excavation was hauled to an approved site, leveled and seeded. Due to the type of soil found under the excavated approaches, underdrain pipe was installed as well as geotextile fabric on the roadbed. Gravel was then installed, leveled and compacted. Fine grading and the installation of hot top, line striping and loaming and seeding finished the job. The “haul road” was damaged during the road construction and was paved upon project completion.
Road travel down to one lane while utility poles were moved, trees cut and chipped and erosion control was installed.
Road closing, bridge demolition and removal of bridge approaches.

Fine grading, compaction, track work, paving and other incidentals.
Project started August 18, 2009. With long hours and extra days worked by Country Fare employees and cooperation from Mother Nature with great weather, Maine DOT allowed us to have the surface paving installed, which then allowed us to complete our portion of this project. Our portion was completed October 27, 2009. No punch list. The work remaining are railroad related items.

Backfilling and compacting.
Light poles were reinstalled. Fine grading then hot topped and curbed.
Storm drain outfall into retention pond. Hot top curbed backed up with erosion control rock. Utility conflict required night work as water needed to be shut down while plaza stores were closed. Project completed.
