PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION FOR MALDEN TURNPIKE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT OVER THRUWAY (I-87) IN
SAUGERTIES (ULSTER COUNTY) TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, APRIL 24

 

The New York State Thruway Authority today announced that it will hold a public information session regarding the replacement of the Malden Turnpike bridge over the New York State Thruway (I-87) in the Village of Saugerties from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 24, 2025.

The existing bridge, built in 1948, carries Malden Turnpike over the Thruway in the Village of Saugerties. The bridge is at the end of its service life and will be replaced with a new structure that meets current standards. The proposed bridge will be designed for a service life of 75 years and accommodate two 11-foot travel lanes, with 5-foot shoulders. The project will upgrade roadway features such as vertical clearance, bridge railing, and it will improve the riding surface.

The public information session will include several information boards on display, and representatives from the Thruway Authority will be available to answer questions about the project.

TIME: 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
LOCATION: Malden West Camp Fire Co.
