Sitework on the bus maintenance facility
Watertown, CT – O&G Industries was recently awarded a $75 million contract by the state of Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) to build a bus maintenance facility on Frost Bridge Road in Watertown.
Wendall Companies of N.Y. is the architect.
The new facility will provide CT Transit with space for vehicle storage, washing, maintenance, and parts management, as well as administrative and operations support. The facility will provide space for 86 buses and 162 staff and replaces the company’s existing facility on Thomaston Avenue in Waterbury.
In addition, the project includes extensive earthwork and conservation measures on the 20-acre site. These efforts include protecting a 100-year-old American Sycamore tree and creating a safe habitat for the New England cottontail rabbits during construction. The property, which borders the Naugatuck River, will also be enhanced with numerous plantings to revitalize the landscape.
Sitework at the project began earlier this month. The project is expected to be completed in April 2017.
