Route 364 bridge swap-out scheduled for Middlesex public hearing
The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has scheduled a public hearing for the replacement of the Route 364 bridge over the West River in Middlesex. The hearing will take place at the Middlesex Town Hall, located at 1216 NY-245, on Monday, August 18, 2025, at 7 p.m.
An informal open house will precede the hearing at 6 p.m., allowing residents, business owners, and elected officials to ask questions and review the proposal before the formal hearing. During the hearing, NYSDOT will present its preferred alternative for the project, along with proposed changes to the highway right-of-way. These changes include anticipated property acquisitions under the state’s Eminent Domain Procedure Law.
The Route 364 bridge, located between Lincoln Avenue and Church Street, is set to be replaced in spring 2028. The bridge's replacement is a significant project that may affect local residents and businesses, and the public's input is essential.
Residents, business owners, and elected officials are invited to provide comments in person at the hearing. Those unable to attend may submit written feedback to NYSDOT Highway Design Engineer Elizabeth Clark by September 15, ensuring their input becomes part of the official record.
Requests for accessibility accommodations can be directed to Marty Jackson at NYSDOT or by calling (607) 324-8454. For more information, visit the NYSDOT website or contact Elizabeth Clark at [email protected].
It's important for the community to stay informed and engaged in this process to ensure a smooth transition for the Route 364 bridge replacement project.
