Sleepy Hollow Road Bridge Replacement Project RFP

Description: The Sleepy Hollow Road Bridge Replacement Project is located on a rural road in the Town of Richmond located approximately .4 miles east from the intersection of ST 41 and Sleepy Hollow Road. See Location Map below. The bridge crosses Cone Brook, a designated Cold-Water Fishery to the south of the crossing; therefore, construction must protect the stream and restore it to its natural state.  Work shall be done, according to the Order of Conditions, Ma Division of Fish & Wildlife NHESP and the Army Corp of Engineers General Permit. The project will require wildlife specialist as part of the turtle protection plan and requirements with the Richmond’s Conservation Order of Conditions.  The existing culvert is considered too small to convey high stream flows which has caused significant road overtopping and erosion.  The proposed replacement project will replace the culvert with a precast concrete frame structure with precast concrete wingwalls and restore the stream channel to its natural state.   The Town will keep the gravel road and not pave it.
