Monsey, Bridge Work To Resume On Route 59
The work that stopped June 13 on the bridge of Route 59 in Monsey that starts just west of Monsey Auto Body and ends near Augusta Avenue about a quarter-mile west of Route 306, is planed to restart this month.
The two-month reprieve from traffic backups will soon end. While an exact start date for the project is not yet known, DOT spokeswoman said it would be midmonth, and is expected to be done by the end of the year.
The $6.144 million contract calls for replacement of the 80-foot concrete span. It will be 60 feet wide instead of the current 48, and will have sidewalks and a center turn lane.
Because Route 59 tends to have very few low-traffic periods, one lane will stay open in each direction when work resumes.
