Ford Lea Bridge reopens in Minisink

GOSHEN – The Ford Lea Bridge
over the Rutgers Creek in the Town of Minisink has been rebuilt and opened
to traffic.
The Orange County Public Works Department performed the design and construction of the $760,000 project.
The bridge had been closed since September to make way for replacement. It now provides “safety and convenience for residents of the Town of Minisink,” said Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus.
The structure, which provides a route for motorists traveling between Route 284 and County Route 22, carries about 400 vehicles per day.
