Warren County approves 2025 paving projects, adds funding for two bridge replacements; schedule likely spring 2026
Summary
The county established 2025 road paving projects for bid, closed one capital project and increased funding for Adirondack and Beaver Pond bridge replacements; staff said right‑of‑way work likely pushes construction into next spring, with a possibility of later fall timing to reduce tourist impacts.
The Finance and Budget Committee approved establishment of various 2025 road paving projects and authorized the county to go to bid; bids are expected before the April full‑board meeting. The committee also approved closing capital project H395 (Oxbow Hill Road and Moon Hill Road, County Route 603) and returning $28,558.15 to the county’s capital transfer account.
The committee approved an increase to capital project H2405 to add $178,670.40 for the Adirondack Bridge and Beaver Pond Bridge replacements. Department of Public Works staff told supervisors that construction timing depends on right‑of‑way work and that the projects are likely to proceed in spring 2026; if right‑of‑way moves faster a late‑fall start is possible. Officials said they would aim to sequence Adirondack first because it is more heavily traveled and more likely to affect the tourist season.
Supervisors asked staff to coordinate with residents and contractors on scheduling to minimize tourist‑season impacts. Department staff said the county will work with contractors and attempt to start the heavier‑traffic Adirondack work later in the year to avoid peak tourism impacts if right‑of‑way acquisition permits.
Ending: County staff will receive bids, manage right‑of‑way steps and return to the board with final schedules as design and acquisition work is completed.
