This significant investment builds upon a previously awarded $100,000 Erie County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) secured by municipal staff to support improvements along the corridor.
The project will deliver far more than a replacement bridge span. Planned improvements include:
Full-depth reconstruction of bridge foundations
Enhanced pedestrian approaches
New lighting for safety and visibility
Streambank restoration and landscaping
Additional site and corridor improvements
Fourmile Creek can be powerful during high-water events, and this project is being designed with long-term resilience in mind. Our goal is to construct a bridge that will safely serve residents for generations—just as the original bridge did for nearly 100 years.
