Bridge Reopened to Traffic on Ridge Road in Dover

The Dutchess County Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced the replacement of a bridge on Ridge Road in the Town of Dover has been completed and the structure opened to traffic.

Project work, which began in the spring, included replacing the structure, located over the Mill River near the intersection of Cooperstown Road, with a new, wider bridge that includes three-foot shoulders, and slightly straightening the surrounding roadway to improve safety for motorists. The project was completed on time and within budget.

This section of Ridge Road averages approximately 522 vehicles per day.
