  I can't seem to find it on the "NY State Highway Bridge Data: January 31, 2013" report. They list the other Sawkill Road bridge which goes over Interstate 587, but I can't find the one that goes over Interstate 87.
  
  But yes, I agree-- that bridge looks like it's about to collapse! And what a disgusting welcome to our community for people driving along the NYS Thruway! Yuck!

IS THIS BRIDGE EVER GOING TO GET FIXED?!?!? Open

County Road 32 Saugerties, NY - Ulster

This bridge is a DEATH TRAP! The beams are rusted, the concrete is crumbling, the guardrails are corroded, and the pavement is so disintegrated it is coming up in CHUNKS!

And the intersection at Route 9W is WAY too wide!

I have had drivers traveling northbound on 9W turning left into Glasco Turnpike and pull in BEHIND MY VEHICLE!

This road and bridge need a SEVERE reconstruction, otherwise 20 people are going to go plummeting to their deaths into the Esopus Creek!!!

  There are bridges that are in much worse shape that need to be fixed first.

  Well then, let's hop to it! Let's "stimulate" the economy and have a dozen men with picks and shovels and an asphalt truck repairing this bridge! The politicians keep saying they want to stimulate the economy and "create jobs", well then let's get hiring! Let's get people back to work again and repair these dilapidated bridges around here so that people don't DIE when bridges like this one COLLAPSE!!!

Bridge needs to be fixed Open

351-367 County Road 32 Saugerties, NY 12477, USA - Ulster

This bridge really needs to be fixed and soon. Apparently the potholes keep getting filled in but they keep coming right back and worse then ever.

  I agree! That bridge is HORRENDOUS and looks like it's going to collapse at ANY MOMENT!!!
  
  You can even see the rusty re-bars coming through the concrete! What a disgrace!
  
  And that humungously wide intersection of Glenerie Blvd. and Route 9W needs a complete re-design! I've even had people turn left in from 9W and drive BEHIND ME when turning! This is an EXTREMELY dangerous intersection!!!
  
  That whole corner is nothing but one big GRAVEL PIT!!
  
  NY State will probably wait until someone gets KILLED before they fix anything!!!

  Correct me if i am but if you drive that road regularly and you know they are there should you not slow down knowing they are coming up? I understand that those who do not drive the road regularly will not know they are there. But you and the original poster seem to know they are there so slow down before you hi them!

Broken coffee cups on the bridge Archived

370 County Road 32 Saugerties, NY 12477, USA - Ulster

I hope the older woman, with the jet-black beehive hair and foot-long braid, driving the pick-up truck, helping her father move (11June10, noon) is going to clean up the broken coffee cups before someone gets a flat tire. Yes, it is considered littering, even if it was an accident. If anyone knows her, please drop a hint to her.

"School bus stop ahead" sign needed. Archived

101 John St Kingston, NY 12401, USA - East Kingston

There is a well established bus stop at this stop sign where kids play while they wait for their buses. Until last year there has been a crossing guard but not anymore. Most people roll through but don't actually stop. Some don't even tap the brakes! Tuytenbridge Road got their signs recently. May we have a couple? Without the benefit of a crossing guard, people passing through East Kingston may not realize there are kids in the area from 7AM to 3 PM. We'd hate to lose a kid because we didn't have a sign.

  Thank you so much for getting these signs to us in East Kingston. Many people speed on Main Street and most don't stop at the stop sign at the intersection with John Street. At least now, with our big fluorescent signs advising of the bus stop, folks can't say they didn't know when they get a big fat ticket. Again, thanx for getting those signs out to us so quickly.

Kings Highway "Temporary Bridge" Open

377-381 Kings Hwy Saugerties, NY 12477, USA - Ulster

Wasn't this bridge built as a "temporary" bridge for the Woodstock '94 Concert because the original one couldn't handle the weight?

That was 16 years ago.

Are they ever going to build a "permanent" bridge there anytime soon?

16 years is hardly "temporary."

  Temp bridge also causes a hazard for any vehicle travelling across it. It is not lined up correctly nor is it maintained adequately. A narrow passage and opportunity of being "launched" by huge bumps will cause a head-on accident.

  Thank you for noting this. The Glasco Turnpike/Plattekill Creek Bridge is listed on the County's Draft Transportation Improvements program for replacement. The process is scheduled to begin, tentatively, in 2014 with the construction phase in 2016. YOu can view the County's Draft TIP at: http://www.co.ulster.ny.us/planning/tip.html

  What is the maximum weight allowed to be going over this bridge? It seems like every time a max weight sign is put up, it mysteriously disappears? Is it safe for loaded dump trucks and tractor trailers to go over? Better yet, is it safe for them to sit and wait on the bridge while the traffic is at a stand still? That's a lot of weight.

  "The process is scheduled to begin, tentatively, in 2014 with the construction phase in 2016" - So this is the reason that our roads and bridges are in such bad shape?? It takes from 2014-2016 to get the job started and then after two years of getting ready, then they actualy start construction.
  WOW that is some kind of system you have. Thank you for spending my money wisely, and I thought you were just throwing it around. I will pass your system of functionality around to different businesses to see if they can incorporate it into their practices.
  Maybe McDonald's will adopt it. I order my Mac and fries in 2014 and they start cooking it in 2016 and then I receive it in 2018 at a cost of $313, 000. If it works for the government "IT HAS TO BE RIGHT!" right??

Yet Another Jumper on Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge Open

Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Ulster

There has been a rash of jumpers on this bridge in the past few years, and one occurred just yesterday.

The Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge was recently renovated a few years ago.

Why were no fences installed along the edges of the bridge to prevent people from jumping off to commit suicide?

I can't believe nobody thought to have fences installed here!

It's the same thing with the new Highland River Walkway over the Hudson! No fences were installed here either! I am shocked at the lack of forethought on this matter!

  If someone want's to commit suicide, no fence is going to stop him/her. They will just find another place and/or another way. There is no point in spending more tax payer money of devices that in the end will serve no real purpose.

  You use fences to keep dogs in the yard. They're not designed to stop a suicidal person from jumping off a bridge. The only thing that can stop a suicidal person is them.

  While I can understand that if a person is determined to end their life, they will -- I cannot and will never subscribe to the heartless thought that someone in that much pain is nothing more than an inconvenience to someone getting stuck in traffic and slowing them down getting home. Many of these posts show nothing more than our society's rampant lack of compassion. That is almost more heartbreaking than someone taking their life by jumping off a bridge. As a society, we are responsible for the welfare of each other, that is what makes us human. Anything less is shameful.
