New Genesee Bridge to Open Friday
Genesee – The new School Street Bridge on Route 244 in Genesee will officially open to traffic on Friday, Dec. 16. Work to build the new bridge across the Genesee River has been underway since fall of 2010 and completion of the project comes about five months ahead of schedule.
The old bridge was replaced with a new, wider, one-span box beam bridge. Work also included roadway improvements, drainage and guiderail updates and installation of a dry hydrant.
The old bridge has been out of service since the end of 2003. The new bridge eliminates a short, local detour and provides a safer, more efficient route for emergency responders and the public.
Area officials and local residents will mark the completion of the project with a ribbon cutting ceremony Friday morning. Dolomite Products Company, Inc. of Hornell, New York was the contractor on the $1.5 million job.
