The Onondaga County Department of Transportation will hold a Public Information Meeting to discuss improvements to the Otisco Valley Road bridge over Ninemile Creek in the Town of Otisco. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 27, 2016 at Amber Fire Department, 2214 Amber Road

Marietta.

After a brief presentation at 7:00 P.M., engineers will be available at project stations (open house format), offering a welcoming environment for the public to review preliminary plans, ask questions, and provide comments and concerns.

The proposed project is located on Otisco Valley Road approximately 400 feet northerly of Otisco Lake Dam. The rehabilitation of this bridge will include the replacement of the steel beams and concrete deck. The abutments and wing walls will undergo concrete repairs, and heavy stone fill will be placed to stabilize the embankments.

This project is a locally administered federal aid project. It is being progressed by Onondaga County, with involvement from the New York State Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration.
