Advisory Regarding Twin Bridges Construction Project

ALBANY, NY (09/10/2012)(readMedia)-- All lanes to the Thaddeus Kosciuszko Bridge (the Twin Bridges) on I-87, the Northway, are now open to traffic.

During construction earlier this morning, a steel plate the contractor installed to transition traffic from newly installed bridge deck panels to the old surface of the bridge did not remain properly secured. This presented a potential safety problem necessitating lane closures until the problem could be corrected.

The work is now complete and all lanes have been reopened.

As the project continues to progress we ask motorists to give themselves additional time to arrive at their destinations and to take alternate routes whenever possible.
