NEVERSINK – A $7 million project to replace two small bridges at the upper end of Rondout Reservoir in Sullivan County has been completed. The replacements include the Lows Corners Bridge and Sugarloaf Bridge, both of which were constructed over 60 years ago at the same time as the reservoir.
“Projects like this are important for the operation and maintenance of our water supply, and for local motorists who travel roads around Rondout Reservoir every day,” said Acting DEP Commissioner Vincent Sapienza.
The 50-foot-long Sugarloaf Bridge carries Sundown Road over the Sugarloaf Brook. The 150-foot-long Lows Corners Bridge carries Route 55A over Rondout Creek at the head of the Rondout Reservoir.
The replacement work began in May on the two bridges owned by DEP, which owns, operates and maintains 57 bridges and 99 miles of roads throughout its upstate water supply system.
