Upcoming work begins by Neversink Bridge 

 in Port Jervis, NY.

This will affect those travelling to access Bon Secours Community Hospital or other locations in Port.

Today's Middletown Times-Herald Record relates 

that ground was broken yesterday, Oct. 9th, to start work to replace the 1926 bridge.

Reporter Jessica Cohen relates:

".. bridge replacement has evolved into a larger project that includes widening of East Main Street with a third lane, realignment of three major intersections, and building Safe Routes to School sidewalks.

Intersections with Main Street at Maple Avenue., Kingston Avenue., and Hamilton Street will all be realigned. Sidewalks will be added along East Main, Kingston, and Hamilton, between the middle school and high school.

 “The biggest inconvenience will be in summer, when traffic will be reduced to one lane alternating sides, when a lane is closed, but only between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Before and after that, there’s too much traffic”.

 Demolition will begin on Oct. 22 to make way for the temporary bridge. "
