WASHINGTON – Sullivan County is targeted to receive $1.1 million from the federal omnibus funding package to construct a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over the Neversink River to connect two existing sections of the county’s O&W Rail Trail.
That will complete 15 miles of the trail.
County Legislature Chairman Rob Doherty said other sections of the trail are being developed at the present time.
“The Monticello spur is being worked on, the Livingston Manor part and the Town of Rockland part as a whole is being worked on,” he said. “The big push will be on the trestle in Liberty.”
That component alone will cost some $10 million, and Doherty said the county is exploring funding sources for that.
