“I commend our DPW Engineering Division team and contractor partners for completing this project over a month ahead of schedule and on budget." said Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro. "Their work reopened this bridge expeditiously, allowing for regained direct access to the nearby Red Hook Recreation Park. Thank you to our residents for your patience over the last year as crews worked diligently to replace the bridge and install several safety features making the bridge more accessible for all,”
The work included several safety improvements including the installation of new bridge railing, guiderail, signage, and drainage. In addition, the bridge has newly widened shoulders with the addition of a 5.6-foot curb-protected sidewalk along the eastern side of the bridge, to better accommodate bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
