Lake Drive Bridge Closed

Posted

The Lake Drive Bridge was closed on May 8 and will undergo construction through 2020. The bridge will be completely removed and closed off to pedestrians at the end of the summer. The structure of the Lake Drive Bridge was red flagged by the New York State Department of Transportation.

Residents in Lake Street Apartments will have access through the South Intersections of Lake Drive, Lake Street, and Cerone Place. The City of Newburgh Traffic Advisory Board is looking at bussing options to provide adequate transportation for residents in that portion of the city.

A group of Yale students pulled together architects and various professionals to find ways to make Lake Street more pedestrian friendly, so issues like removing the Lake Drive bridge will not have such an impact on pedestrians.
