Green International Affiliates, Inc.

Project Highlight! Green completed the reconstruction of Holtshire Road over Millers River in Orange, MA, working with MassDOT to deliver a safer, more resilient bridge. The project replaced an aging structure with a new 182-foot, three-span bridge, improving width and adding a sidewalk to better serve the community. Building the new bridge came with challenges, including limited site access, an adjacent railroad, and the need for in-river construction. To keep the project moving while maintaining the river’s flow, our team designed a temporary work platform using a polyethylene berm, allowing crews to safely reach the site. We also designed cofferdams to keep work areas dry for pier construction and conducted a hydraulic analysis to provide temporary works that would operate safely during design storms. Through close collaboration with nearby residents and businesses, we minimized disruptions and kept the project on track. Now complete, the new bridge provides a stronger, safer crossing that will serve the Orange community for years to come.
