A date has been set for the removal of the CSX railroad bridge over Union Street (Route 259) in the Village of Spencerport.
Following many months of delays, Mayor Joyce Lobene announced that she has been notified the work will begin on May 1 and will be completed in about one week.
Also on the calendar is work on the Union Street canal bridge. Lobene says she has been notified that the canal bridge will close for repairs on Tuesday, April 3, and remain closed for three weeks, “possibly four, if they run into difficulties. They will activate the traffic lights that have been installed on Martha Street on April 2,” she says.
Work on Lyell Avenue is also expected to start again in April, the mayor adds. “The county will finish the work started last year and expects to be there sometime in April – but they do not think they will interfere with the other two projects.”
The mayor explained delivery trucks to the business district will be able to use the DPW road. “They can now come in from Trimmer Road, turn east on to the DPW road and proceed down through West Avenue to Union,” the mayor says.
She thanks everyone for their patience.
“It looks like all will be completed by June and we will be on our way to a hassle-free summer,” Mayor Lobene says.
