The Canal Street Bridge over the Nashua River is part of a significant east-west
arterial road traversed by approximately 30,000 vehicles per day. The bridge is
included on the Municipally-Owned Red List Bridges list, based on inspection and
ratings completed by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.
Engineering consultant Fuss & O’Neill of Manchester, NH prepared design plans
that detail concrete repairs to the east abutment and center pier, as well as repairs
to a portion of the bridge barrier. The project was advertised for bids and two bids
were received on April 14, 2022 as follows (base bid with bid alternate):
New England Infrastructure, Inc. of Hudson, MA $373,750
Hansen Bridge, LLC of New Loudon, NH $448,190
We recommend awarding the contract to the low bidder, New England
Infrastructure, Inc., a responsible company that has extensive experience with this
type of work in Vermont and Massachusetts. Work is expected to be completed in
the summer during low river water flow.
