Press Release, NYS Canal Corporation
MEDINA—The New York State Canal Corporation announced today the Medina lift bridge will be closed to all vehicular traffic from July 10-28.
The Canal Corporation is scheduled to make repairs and do maintenance on the bridge lifting system.
The pedestrian walkways will remain open during these repairs, except for a brief time after the bridge is first placed in the raised position. The pedestrian walkways will not be handicap accessible during the scheduled work period.
