New Barryville-Shohola bridge (file)

BARRYVILLE – The new Barryville, NY to Shohola, PA Bridge built from 2004-2008 to replace a 1941 structure is 99 percent complete, pending installation of the ornamental railing at the pedestrian overlooks, officials overseeing the project said.

That bridge, which was delayed because of flooding, cost $11.6 million to construct.

Repair work continues on other bridges crossing the Delaware River.

Extensive work to repair abutment backwalls, steel members, pier expansion dam and to paint the floor beam system on the Port Jervis-Matamoras Bridge will begin in the next few months at a cost of $2.5 million.

New York Transportation Department will hold off on painting the steel truss members for an additional $3.4 million in 2015.

In 2012, $5 million has been earmarked to replace the deck and sidewalks, and paint the Narrowsburg-Darbytown Bridge.

Repair of truss members and abutments at the Skinners Falls-Milanville Bridge will get underway next year under an estimated $200,000 contract. A second phase of full rehabilitation and painting will take place in 2015 for $8 million.

No repair contracts are currently in the works for the 1937 Hancock, NY-Buckingham, PA Bridge that also falls under the jurisdiction of the NY-PA Joint Interstate Bridge Commission.
