New Span Over Unadilla River Will Enhance Safety on Key Travel Route
OTSEGO COUNTY—New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez announced on Thursday, May 8 that work is underway on an $11.8 million project to replace the bridge carrying State Route 23 over the Unadilla River between the hamlet of South New Berlin in Chenango County and the towns of Morris and Butternuts in Otsego County.
According to a press release, the project will replace a 76-year-old structure with a modern, two-span bridge that will enhance safety and improve resiliency along an important travel route that connects the cities of Norwich and Oneonta, and provides access to popular recreational destinations in the area, including the Wagner Farm and General Jacob Morris state forests. Additional improvements will also facilitate access to the Unadilla River for fishing, kayaking and canoeing.
