The planned reopening of Brockport’s Main Street Bridge has been pushed back yet again, with a new projected opening date in November, barring any other unforeseen circumstances.
The delay is due to several bigger issues, including bridge clearance and a critical positioning sensor that needs replacement. The new sensor is expected to be delivered in October.
“The biggest hurdle we’re facing is a shortage of skilled iron workers,” said Brockport Mayor Ben Reed. “DOT is actively working to see if they can bring in a crew from the New York City area to help speed things along.”
Village merchants have been especially hard hit by the extended closure, which has now passed the two year mark.
Reed says he understands that this extended delay is frustrating for everyone impacted and will provide more updates as he has them.
