History

The purpose of this project is to improve the condition of this bridge by replacement or rehabilitation, remove the load posting and structural flags associated with the structure, and reduce the frequency and cost of maintenance repairs. This project is necessary to ensure long term integrity of Route 12E at this location and allow unrestricted/unposted movement of vehicles over this structure.

Route 12E carries a significant volume of traffic between the City of Watertown and the eastern Lake Ontario/ St. Lawrence River communities. Route 12E is the most direct route for permanent and seasonal residents to access the retail stores, places of employment, and various other services in Watertown and surrounding villages. It is also an important link for residents of Watertown and surrounding areas to access recreational opportunities and places of employment along the Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River communities.
