Batchellerville Bridge Replacement Project

The NYS Department of Transportation has made a final decision on its Preferred Alternative. This alternative proposes to construct a new bridge to the south of the existing bridge. It will have a vertical navigational clearance at center span of 42 feet. The new bridge will have two 11-foot-wide travel lanes, two 5-foot-wide shoulders, and a raised 5-foot-wide sidewalk with curb on the north side.
