THE HEALTH OF GASPORT'S BRIDGES

The State issued their annual bridge report last week that includes the “NYS Condition Rating”. The NYS Department of Transportation defines a deficient bridge as one with a State condition rating less than 5.0.

By their standards, what bridges in Gasport/Royalton/Hartland are structurally-deficient?

Some are obvious, some aren't.

In Hartland we have...

The Carmen Road bridge over Johnson Creek at 4.19
The Johnson Creek Road bridge over Mud Creek at 4.79
