Beacham Street and Williams Street Utility & Roadway Improvements

The City of Chelsea retained Weston & Sampson to transform an industrial freight corridor connecting the commercial downtown centers of Chelsea and Everett into a safe and purposeful way with multi-modal transportation systems suitable for local industry and the broader community.

The project aimed to address infrastructure deficiencies, such as narrow intersections, lack of curbs or sidewalks, and corroded utilities, that impeded pedestrian passage, caused frequent collisions, and left the area subject to flooding, sewer backups, and water main breaks. Our utility, roadway, traffic, environmental, permitting, and geotechnical teams supported design and construction administration efforts. The 4,000-LF project included cleaning and CIPP lining or replacement of all sewers, replacement of all water valves and hydrants, and installation of comprehensive new stormwater collection systems. We also prepared and administered a plan for hazardous materials management, dust control, health and safety, and groundwater treatment in accordance with the MCP.
