A county bridge spanning the Canisteo River on Magee Road in the Town of Hornellsville will be closed for reconstruction starting later this month, Steuben County Commissioner of Public Works Eric Rose announced.
The bridge, located between County Route 29 and Dineen Road, will be closed to all through traffic starting March 16. The closure will last for approximately 10 weeks to allow for a full bridge replacement project.
The structure will be rebuilt with new concrete abutments and concrete deck beams to ensure long-term safety, reliability, and improved infrastructure for residents, the county said.
There will be no on-site detour during the closure. Motorists are advised to plan alternate routes in advance and allow additional travel time. Emergency services, local schools, and affected agencies have been notified.
“This project represents our continued commitment to maintaining and improving critical infrastructure throughout Steuben County,” said Commissioner Rose. “While we understand closures can be inconvenient, this investment will provide a safer and more durable crossing for residents and travelers for many years to come.”
