Lowell, MA – The Lowell Regional Transit Authority (LRTA) Advisory Board recently awarded GTC Construction Management of Haverhill a $1.9 million contract for a pedestrian walkway linking Gallagher Terminal to the future Thorndike Exchange.

The construction of the 140-ft. pedestrian bridge will connect the third floor of the Charles A. Gallagher Intermodel Transportation Center to the second floor of the new Thorndike Exchange development, built by Lupoli companies and designed by Cube 3 Studio.

The work includes removal and reconstruction of site improvements (paved areas and concrete sidewalks), construction of new end and center support piers, and construction of a steel truss bridge structure enclosed with metal windows, louvers, and aluminum panels.

The new trusses will be fabricated into two sections, each weighing in excess of 25 tons. Once the trusses arrive in Lowell, it will the responsibility of GTC to coordinate, schedule, and manage how the trusses are erected and finished between the active Gallagher Terminal and the under-construction Thorndike Exchange. The biggest challenge will be logistical concerns, such as setting and finishing the bridge over an active bus and train terminal that shuts down only 4 hours a night.

The new walkway is slated for completion in summer of 2017.
