$21 Million Going Towards Repairing Or Replacing Hudson Valley Bridges

A bridge near you might be getting fixed or replaced in the near future.

On Tuesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced $21.8 million in funding to rehabilitate and replace 17 bridges and culverts across the Mid-Hudson Region. The funding is part of governor’s $1 billion Bridge NY initiative.

“Infrastructure is the key to our prosperity and through this program, we are providing funding to local governments in every corner of this state to help ensure their bridges remain reliable, resilient, and able to meet the demands of current and future generations of New Yorkers," Governor Cuomo stated. "This is another step toward a safer, stronger and more secure New York for all."

The Bridge NY program hopes to fix bridges with poor structural conditions, mitigate weight restrictions or long detours to help facilitate economic development or increase competitiveness and reduce the risk of flooding.

Projects were selected for funding through a competitive process that evaluated current structural conditions and the significance and importance of the bridge, including traffic volumes, detour considerations, number of businesses served and impacts on commerce.
