Bridge Reopened to Traffic on Old State Route 22 in Dove

The Dutchess County Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced the replacement of a bridge on Old State Route 22 (CR-6) in the Town of Dover is complete and the structure now open to traffic.

Project work, which began in the spring, included replacing the structure, located over the Swamp River between the intersections of Jordyn Lane and Sherman Hill Road, with a new, wider bridge that includes four-foot shoulders and wider travel lanes to match the adjacent roadway. The bridge was also raised approximately three feet to reduce the risk of flooding and potential damage to the bridge and roadway due to the increasing intensity and frequency of major storms. The project was completed on time and within budget.

This section of Old State Route 22 averages approximately 779 vehicles per day.
