Report: Medford's Horseblock Road Bridge Getting Repairs

One lane will be open in each direction for the next three months reports Newsday.

The Horseblock Road bridge in Medford will be receiving structural repairs over the next three months, state transportation officials told Newsday.

The repairs will result in lane closures that will leave only one lane open in each direction over the bridge until the project's completion in July.

Crews will be making steel and concrete repairs which will include replacing the bridge deck and deck joints, state officials told Newsday.

Aside from traffic delays during the repairs, fines will double for exceeding posted speed limits on the bridge while it is a work zone.

The proposed structure will have zero enforceable oversight by the PSC, Comptroller or AttorneyRead More General, Let alone the fact that close to 200 pair of eyes through lipa will no longer be scrutinizing what the sub contractor does,pseg. And on top of all that there is a built in profit layer of 10%, management fees, management bonuses and off island shareholder accountability....That being said and knowing that privatization is not financially feasible. The only workable solution is full Municipalization like 2000 other utilities in the country who have some of the lowest rates and highest customer satisfaction....all the governor is proposing is kicking the can down the street and out of sight regardless of cost to the ratepayer....we can not afford another cuomo mistake like his dad with Lilco....
