The Pulp Mill covered bridge connecting the Towns of Middlebury and Weybridge is scheduled to be closed for rehabilitation starting January 3, 2012 and will remain closed through November 16, 2012. This span that crosses Otter Creek was built in 1820.
The pedestrian bridge adjacent to the Pulp Mill bridge is scheduled to remain open for the majority of the construction period but will experience occasional weekday closures to protect the public while crane work is being done in close proximity to the pedestrian bridge.
Rehabilitation of the Pulp Mill Covered Bridge consists of replacing the deteriorated bridge members, installation of new siding and metal roof, substructure repairs, installation of approach railing and reconstruction of roadway approaches. The work will be done by Alpine Construction, LLC of Schuylerville, New York at a cost of $1,638,629.
