The New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) announced that the Riverview Road Bridge, which connects Clifton Park and Halfmoon, will partially reopen in 2025. The bridge will allow alternating one-way traffic as crews work on constructing a permanent replacement. The current bridge suffered damage in June when an excavator collided with it, necessitating extensive repairs. According to NEWS10 ABC, the DOT expects the new bridge to be completed in 2026.
The bridge's closure has impacted local traffic, and the reopening is expected to ease some of the congestion in the area. The DOT is focused on ensuring the safety and efficiency of the new bridge once completed. As the project progresses, updates will be provided to keep the community informed about the timeline and any changes to traffic patterns.
