The New York State Canal Corporation announced the lift bridge in
Gasport will be closed to vehicular traffic on Aug. 21 for about four
weeks for repairs and maintenance on the bridge-lifting system.
The pedestrian walkways will remain open during these repairs, except for a brief time after the bridge is first placed in the raised position. The walkways will not be handicapped accessible during the scheduled work period.
During the Gasport project, a signed detour for vehicles will be posted utilizing Route 31 (Rochester Road and Telegraph Road), Orangeport Road and Slayton Settlement Road.
The bridge work will not affect navigation on the Erie Canal or users of the Erie Canalway Trail.
