Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that more than $17 million will be allocated for the repair and replacement of the Callicoon Bridge in Sullivan County, with construction beginning immediately.

The project will focus on replacing the bridge's deck and repairing its piers.

Hochul emphasized the project's significance for improving travel, enhancing the bridge's structural integrity, and bolstering public safety.

The project is expected to be completed between 2025 and 2027. During construction, the bridge will be reduced to one lane of traffic beginning in 2025.
