Bridge work slated
Project funded in part by stimulus money
The Route 9G bridge spanning the Roeliff Jansen Kill between the towns of Livingston and Germantown will be structurally rehabilitated next spring as part of a $5.3 million Department of Transportation project.
The DOT project also includes creating a park-and-ride on Route 199 in Rhinebeck, and a new emergency turn around on the Taconic State Parkway in Milan. Both towns are in Dutchess County.
The three-part DOT project was funded by federal stimulus money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
According to the DOT, of the $1.1 billion New York state received for highway and bridge projects under ARRA, $167 million is expected to be certified for plans in Hudson Valley communities.
The Roeliff Jansen Bridge rehabilitation will include repairing or replacing deteriorated structural steel elements, replacing the structural deck and repainting.
“Each aspect of this contract is unique in design but common in purpose,” said NYSDOT Hudson Valley Regional Director Joan Dupont, “to improve the transportation system for the residents of Dutchess and Columbia counties. Commuters, residents, businesses and emergency responders will all benefit from what this project will accomplish.”
