Bridge will be closed for approximately four weeks
The Route 259 (Union Street) Lift Bridge over the Erie Canal in the Village of Spencerport, will undergo repairs for approximately four weeks beginning Tuesday, April 3 though April 30.
A detour will be posted directing northbound motorists to take Route 31 west to Route 260 (Sweden-Walker Road), north to Route 104, east back to Route 259. The reverse will be posted for southbound motorists. The adjacent Martha Street single-lane bridge over the Erie Canal will have temporary signals for local village traffic. The bridge is posted for a maximum of 18 tons. All heavy traffic is to follow the detour.
Repairs will consist of replacing a portion of concrete-filled deck panels and supporting steel at the north end of the truss span. The joints at both ends of the bridge will also be replaced. The sidewalks on the bridge will remain open to pedestrians during the majority of the closure.
