Stalled (Again) Route 518 Bridge Replacement Project Could Re-Start This Week

February 28, 2017 Taxes at Work

The on-again, off-again replacement project for the Route 518 bridge at Canal Road is expected to be on again this week.

Work on the Route 518 bridge is expected to resume this week, nearly two weeks after contractors found traces of a possible carcinogen in the ground around the construction area.

Workers found creosote, a wood preservation chemical, in the ground and water near the bridge earlier this month. Work was immediately stopped so that an environmental plan could be created by the state Department of Transportation.
