NYSDOT Announces Completion of $2.8 Million Bridge Rehabilitation Project in Montgomery County
New York, NY – December 13, 2024 – The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) today announced the completion of a $2.8 million bridge rehabilitation project on County Route 61 over the Chuctanunda Creek in the Town of Amsterdam, Montgomery County.
The project involved the replacement of the existing bridge deck, which had deteriorated over time due to heavy use and exposure to the elements. The new deck was designed to improve the safety and durability of the bridge, which serves as a vital link for local residents and businesses.
In addition to the deck replacement, the project also included the installation of new steel beams, concrete barriers, and guide rails. The bridge was also repaved and restriped to improve its overall appearance and functionality.
“This project is a testament to our commitment to maintaining and improving our transportation infrastructure,” said NYSDOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez. “The rehabilitation of this bridge will ensure that it continues to serve the community safely and efficiently for many years to come.”
The project was funded by the NYSDOT and was completed by LAN Contracting Inc. of Albany, New York. Construction began in May 2024 and was completed in December 2024.
“This bridge is a critical piece of our transportation network, and we are grateful to the NYSDOT for investing in its rehabilitation,” said Montgomery County Executive Matthew L. Ossenfort. “This project will improve the safety and mobility of our residents and businesses.”
The rehabilitation of the County Route 61 bridge is part of NYSDOT’s ongoing efforts to improve the safety and condition of bridges throughout the state. In recent years, NYSDOT has invested billions of dollars in bridge rehabilitation and replacement projects, including the replacement of the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge over the Hudson River and the rehabilitation of the Kosciuszko Bridge in New York City.
