Bridges:

• Route 69 over Route 26;
• Route 26 over Route 365; and
• Route 69 over Route 365.

Roads:

“Not only will the NY Works program create good-paying jobs for hardworking families,” said Brindisi. “It will help make our roads and bridges safer for traveling and our communities more attractive to businesses.”
