Multiple crews are on site (O’Connell – electric, BVR – steel, Crane Hogan – contractor) and are working on the weekends towards completion of Brockport’s Main Street bridge.
Concrete covers for the pits will be completed in the next couple of weeks as soon as all machinery for the pits is in place. All machinery is on site. All the steel plates for the counterweight boxes have been completed and installed. Bridge decking has been laid and is in the final stages of being bolted in place.
Completion of the bridge and opening to traffic is targeted for mid-May. Navigation season on the canal begins May 16, which is also the day of SUNY Brockport’s graduation. The engineers are aware that hundreds of people will be coming for commencement. NYSDOT is hoping to speed up the schedule.
