Middle County engineer Squire Whipple announced that the State Department of Transportation is granting 200 - thousand dollars for the rehabilitation and repairs of the deteriorating Middle County Salt Creek bridge on Old Route 9. The bridge which spans about 300 feet was built in 1834 and had to be closed in 2005 due to the hazards that were present which worried local preservationists and commuters in the county. The 200 thousand dollar grant will be enough to cover the hefty 2M dollar estimate of total repairs.
