Infrastructure Progress: Highland Mills Bridge Complete

GOSHEN - Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus, along with the Department of Public Works (DPW), is pleased to announce the completion of the much-anticipated Highland Mills Bridge on Park Avenue, enhancing mobility in the Village of Woodbury.

"This project, headed by our dedicated DPW team, has been in the works for quite some time, and we're excited to see it come to fruition," said Neuhaus. "The bridge serves as a vital link for the Village of Woodbury community, providing easy and smooth access to neighboring towns for residents and visitors to the area."

The Highland Mills Bridge is located on Park Avenue in the Village and Town of Woodbury and crosses the Woodbury creek. The design and construction of this bridge was completed solely by the DPW.

"We are very proud of our Orange County DPW engineers and bridge construction crew," said Commissioner Erik Denega. "Like many bridge projects in the past, they designed and built this bridge with in-house forces. Efforts included planning, survey, design, project management, construction, guiderail installation, paving, and roadway striping. We are very lucky to have this talent and dedication on staff."

Neuhaus noted that using the Orange County DPW Engineering and the bridge construction crew for this important infrastructure project saved hundreds of thousands of dollars as the project was not required to be put out to bid.

Commissioner Denega would like to add, "Thank you to the Village of Woodbury for their successful coordination involving their watermain relocation attached to the bridge."

The Bridge was originally constructed in 1953 and had reached the end of its usefulness. The Bridge was fully demolished, and the project began on September 16^th and was completed on November 25^th of this year.
