Katie Kocijanski is reporting in The Daily Mail Greene County Highway Superintendent Gary Harvey says all county bridge projects are proceeding on schedule to either begin construction or to be completed this year. Harvey made his report to Greene County Legislature’s Public Works Committee, Mon., Feb. 8. “In Greene County, we are responsible for 135 bridges. That’s a lot,” he said. One project the department is managing is the installation of a sidewalk along Woodstock Avenue in Palenville. Another walkway will run along Route 23A, from the Rip Van Winkle Country Club up to White Road. Bids for the bridge preservation projects for Windham, Leeds and Durham will be advertised in the coming weeks, Harvey said. A public hearing with the town of Catskill on the Cauterskill Road bridge project was held in January. Harvey said the department is awaiting the comments received, and the construction estimates are being worked on. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
