Buskirk and Salisbury Center Bridges Repairs - June Update

 

June 23, 2004 - Joe,

I thought I would update you on two of the bridges that are under repair here in New York.

All work has stopped at the Salisbury Center Covered Bridge. This picture was taken on June 19th and as you can see, the bridge has bracing inside as the floor has been removed. All heavy equipment is gone, all that is at the site is the Construction Co. work trailer.

Buskirk Bridge is really coming along now. All false work is in the river and the bridge is being jacked up now. You can even see a small camber in the bridge. The boiler plate is being removed and my photo shows just how much was used on the bottom chord. The same construction company that repaired your Poland Bridge is doing the Buskirk Bridge. This would be a good time to see a bridge being repaired and you can get some good shots of a Howe Truss. All these pictures were taken on June 19th, 2004.
