In August, 2020, MassDOT awarded E.T.& L. Corp. a five year, $14.8 million project to replace the Southwick Road (Routes 10 & 202) bridge over the Little River in Westfield, MA. The scope of work included the demolition of the existing bridge W-25-006 (0V7) as follows: the entire superstructure; the entire substructure with the exception of the pier footings. The former piers were demolished to 1 foot below the river bed, while the existing pier footings remained.

The new bridge consists of four (4) single span, curved, welded steel box girders with a composite deck supported by conventional abutments sitting on spread footings. The span length is 160′-2¼” along the construction baseline. There is now a 52′ wide roadway with 6′ sidewalks and bridge rails.

US 202/ST 10, Mill Street, and City View Road was realigned to provide a softer curve along US 202/ST 10, improve the intersections with Mill Street and City View Road, and allow a turning only lane on the northbound side of the US 202/ST 10. The horizontal alignment shifted US 202/ST 10 to the east of the current crossing. Approximately 500 feet on the north and south sides of US 202/ST 10, 425 feet of City View Road, and 500 feet of Mill Street were milled and overlaid. Approximately 200 feet of new approach guardrails along US 202/ST 10 were installed.  The project was constructed in five (5) stages.
