The Great River Bridge project in Westfield, MA, was a multi-faceted effort encompassing bridge, park, traffic, utility, pedestrian and streetscape improvements. The goal of this rehabilitation program was to provide a long-term resolution of traffic congestion while also spurring an urban renewal effort.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation selected STV to provide project management, planning, structural, roadway, electrical and railroad engineering services for the design and construction of both the Great River Bridge as well as a new, identical sister bridge. Additionally, STV designed a replacement for a 280-foot railroad viaduct, which carries CSX Transportation freight rail through downtown Westfield. The complete project includes new riverfront parks that bring the community together in a central area.
