Stone Harbor council hears plan to build new bridge alongside existing span to limit traffic disruption
Summary
Administrator Joe Clark outlined a timeline for constructing a new bridge that will be built before the old span is removed, a sequence intended to minimize traffic disruption for residents and visitors.
Administrator Joe Clark told the Stone Harbor Borough Council on Sept. 16 that the borough’s plan to replace the local bridge calls for constructing the new span before removing the existing structure, a sequencing intended to reduce traffic impacts during construction. “The new bridge would be constructed before the old bridge is removed so there will be minimal impact to traffic flow,” Clark said.
The presentation, given during the work session, laid out the proposed timeline and emphasized phasing designed to keep the road open throughout most of the project. Councilmember Bunny Parzych had asked for the update and Clark addressed staging and scheduling details to reassure residents and business owners that access would be maintained.
The work session record does not include contract awards, funding amounts, or a final construction start date. Council did not take a formal vote at the Sept. 16 work session; Clark’s presentation was informational and part of ongoing planning. Next steps noted in the meeting were continued design work and coordination with relevant agencies before bringing any contract or funding requests to a regular meeting for formal action.
