By popular demand, MassDOT is happy to present this short video of the highlights of the Wellesley Heavy Lift which occured on Independence Day weekend, 2011.
This short video illustrates the demolition and replacement of the bridge that carries Cedar Street over Route 9 in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The bridge was demolished and replaced in a mere 59.5 hours.
This was amazing and so efficient! If only this had been done at Route 16 and Route 9, what took 6+ years could have taken a couple of months of building off to the side and a weekend to replace! The same for Winter St. and 95/128.
Please continue to do bridge replacements this way!
