Part of Route 279 to close in Carlton for bridge replacement beginning Monday
CARLTON – Route 279 will be closed to traffic beginning on Monday for the replacement of a bridge over Beardsley Creek.
Traffic will be closed in Carlton on Route 279 between Park Avenue Extension and Route 104.
The closure is expected to last through September, the Orleans County Emergency Management office said today.
There will be detours posted for alternate routes.
The Orleans County Legislature in February accepted the $1,188,874 bid from CATCO in Alden to replace the bridge on Route 279. The project is 95 percent reimbursable by the state through the Bridge NY program with the local share at 5 percent.
The Legislature also approved an agreement with Bergmann Architectural Associates in Buffalo to be paid $189,692 for construction inspection and support for the Beardsley Creek bridge project. That is also 95 percent funded by Bridge NY.
