NARROWSBURG, NY — A completion date of September 26 has been set for work on the Narrowsburg Bridge, and work has begun on one side of the bridge. The bridge is expected to be closed for a total of 15 nights, but the exact closure dates have not been set. A spokesman for PennDot said on July 31 that it would be “a week or two” before the closure days are finalized, but detour signs will be used when the closures occur.

Proposed work includes replacement of the steel grid deck, span two stringers, sidewalks and bridge railings. Other proposed work includes full-depth bituminous paving on the bridge approach, milling and overlay, drainage improvements, curbing, guide rail, pavement markings and reinstallation of a traffic beacon. All the work will take place within an overall length of 500.46 linear feet (0.095 mile) in Pennsylvania and 447.17 linear feet (0.085 mile) in New York.

The construction bid was awarded to D.A. Collins Construction Co., and the cost will be $6.7 million. That’s down from earlier estimates of nearly $7.4 million. The repair costs are being split between New York and Pennsylvania.
