Beaver Island Parkway bridge could be closed for rest of year

GRAND ISLAND, N.Y. (WIVB) - - The Beaver Island Parkway bridge in Grand Island is blocking to traffic on Monday, and the work to improve it could take the rest of the year.

According to Governor Kathy Hochul, countless dollars will be invested to make the bridge safer. This consists of widening the lanes and enhancing the roadway surface area.

As barricades are placed, detours have actually been added to reroute motorists during their commute.

Grand Island Supervisor John Whitney states "While it's a hassle, we are happy that it is going to be replaced, because otherwise, it would have been just completely closed down and we would have been in an emergency scenario. They had the forethought to do a style and a reconstruction task on it before it got to that point."

Despite the reality that the Beaver Island Parkway bridge is a significant path for Grand Island commuters, Whitney prepares for chauffeurs quickly adjusting to the detours.
