Catskill Mountain Railroad Pedestrian Bridge Rehabilitation

Village of Catskill, Greene County, New York

This Locally Administered Federal Aid project (PIN 1759.71) involved the rehabilitation of the existing railroad bridge constructed in 1882 for use by pedestrian traffic. The bridge is a 440 ft. long 4 span thru-truss railroad bridge, carrying water and sewer lines. The scope of work included pin and hanger steel repairs, deck replacement, utility replacement, and painting of the bridge.
