BREWSTER – State Transportation Department crews have moved onto the site of the old railroad bridge on Route 6 in Brewster to begin a $10.9 million project that will replace the span that carries Carmel Avenue over the Harlem Division’s Metro-North Railroad tracks.

State DOT Commissioner Marie Dominguez said the project would “enhance safety while improving travel conditions which serves as a gateway to the village and the Metro-North Railroad Station.”

The new bridge is being constructed 75 feet to the south of the existing structure creating a direct intersection with Michael Neuner Drive that fulfills a goal of the village’s master plan to improve downtown access.

New traffic signals and crosswalks will be installed at the intersection of Route 6 and Michael Neuner Drive.

The commissioner noted that traffic will be maintained on the existing bridge and Route 6 while the new span and road realignment are taking place.

Work is expected to be completed a year from now.
