Photograph, end of May 2012, by Rick Nicholson.The Brockport Main Street lift bridge over the Erie Canal will be closed to all vehicular traffic from Tuesday, May 29, to Friday, June 15.
The Canal Corporation is scheduled to make needed repairs and maintenance to the Brockport Main Street Bridge lifting system, and DOT is scheduled to make repairs to the grating on the bridge deck.
The pedestrian walkways will remain open during these repairs, except for a brief time after the bridge is first placed in the raised position. The pedestrian walkways will not be handicap accessible at anytime during the scheduled work period.
A signed detour for vehicles will be posted to direct traffic to Fourth Section Road (Route 31), Sweden Walker Road (Route 260), and Ridge Road (Route 104).
This work will not impact navigation on the Canal System or use of the Canalway Trail.
