Both the north bridge approach and the south bridge approach will be closed for the purpose of cleaning and rehabilitating the bridge superstructure and associated work as part of Broome County DPW Project BR 0902.
 
Vehicular traffic will not be allowed on the bridge; however one sidewalk, for pedestrian use only, will remain open across the bridge during the bridge closure period. As a safety measure for walkers, cyclists should dismount and walk their bicycles across the bridge.
 
There will be a signed detour utilizing local and state roads. Signage and traffic control will be as per “NYS Manual of Traffic Control Devices” and Contract Plans. The detour from N. Main Street in Vestal to Vestal Ave in the Village of Endicott will utilize N. Main Street, NYS Rte 434 East, NYS Rte 26 North over the Susquehanna River, NYS Rte 26 North (NYS 17C West) and Vestal Ave in the Village of Endicott.
