Well ahead of scheule, the new superstructure is in place and being prepared to be reopened to traffic. A temporary barrier is in place on both sides of the new bridge; a permanent barrier will be completed in the upcoming weeks.
I-93 was completely reopened to traffic just before 10:00 PM, seven hours ahead of schedule.

The Modular Housing System (MHS) believes the essence of the term ‘modular’ has been lost by conforming to the notion of a modular section (box) design exclusively.
The concept of modularity is far more resourceful and refers to a system of standardized components and dimensions that work together to afford the builder and designer easy assembly, repair and flexibility in arrangement. Today’s modular home as understood by the construction industry is indistinguishable from a conventionally built home. The few distinctions between modular homes and traditional frame homes tend to be the box-like sections that are finished in a factory and connected on site. This really approximates very little of the flexibility and value offered by a truly modular construction system.
The MHS is a genuinely modular aluminum framing system because it enables virtually unlimited configurations. The system further facilitates modularity with a simple selection of components that supports the structure’s frame while also affording access to the connections. An entire structure can be framed by employing only seven components. In addition, any existing materials, finishing or connections can be applied to the system.
Each dimension created produces a space-frame that allows use along the surface area, along the framing members and within the ceiling, producing a complete envelope. This enables use of the entire space within the frame. Dead space, a wasted resource resulting from conventional construction, is no longer an issue. The MHS structure functions more efficiently because it offers more exploitable space. For more information please visit: "http://www.modularhousingsystem.com"
